Ok I just took my fish tank apart and am taking a break from the hobby. I have this Eheim 2026 pro 2 laying around doing nothing but calling for me to use it on a WC'ing setup. I am sick and tired of hearing my computer when I start it up. All I want to do is shut this thing up. Right now I am running a 120 x 38mm fan for the heatsink and 2 case fans plus a loud PSU fan and annoying squeeling HD. I want this computer to run silent.
From what I have read the name of the game in watercooling is the head height on a pump. Also this filter has a self-priming mechanism on the pump so almost eliminates air in the lines...hehe. Well you tell me here is the specs.
Pump Output: 251 GPH
Delivery Head (wc/ft): 6'7"
Filter Volume: 1.3 gallons
power consumption: 25 watts
Inlet/outlet: 1/2" nipples..hehe

This is a VERY good filter. Almost the best that Eheim produces. This was of course on my freshwater setup but now that I dont have fish I want to see what you guys think about this for a possible WC pump. I wouldnt need a reservoir at all because of the 1.3 gallons this canister filter holds already and the empty baskets inside it create turbulance and will do something I guess...lol.
So tell me what you guys think about this idea. I could use your input please. Also are their any commercially produced waterblocks that could withstand the force this pump can generate? I dont have the tools to make my own blocks atm so thats why I am asking..
