So, years ago, when i had a socket a jawdrop system, i had bought a relatively cheap wc setup. it included a 1x120mm heater core, a shroud/fan, swiftech wb (now useless to me) and an eheim 1250 wp. this sucker is massive compared to the new stuff. my question is, should i even try to utilize it in a mid-tower project im working on? or just sell it?
yeah, something like 1200l/hr (317g/hr according to their website) and it is extremely quiet, and yes, it does need AC power. but, i like to let my wc systems run for a few minutes after shut down anywho. but, unless i do some full tower build, im never gonna have the room for it. Although, i have been wanting to start a saltwater aquarium one of these days. may just keep it and use it for that instead of trying to use it in a mod. Edit: just found the specs: Eheim 1250 Universal Pump: * Pump Output: 317 gph * Delivery Head: 6`7" * Power Consumption: 28 W (115V) * Hose Connection (Suction Side): 3/4" * Hose Connection (Pressure Side): 1/2" * Dimensions: 7.1" x 3.8" x 4.7" * Weight: 3.5 lbs
Yeah about 2m head then. I used to do exactly that with my 1250 - leave it on for a few mins after the PC shut down. My Enermax PSU does that for me now . The 1250 is a huge waste of space in most situations these days. D5s and DDCs are smaller, more powerful and mounted properly, are nearly as quiet too.
yeah, when i do finally get the money (and the time) i plan on doing a scratch built case (some people on here may remember my failed first attempt from almost 2 years ago called project: ?) i will be using the same overall design, slightly tweaked and enlarged. and i really wanted to use the 1250, but its just too damned big for the scratch build. soooo, a mcp350 or 650 will be the new pump of choice. probably the 350 as its very small. and i hardly OC my computers anymore.
