    I've been studying the range of pumps available and i'm not sure what to get. I want a quiet pump with good specs and not too big.. any suggestions?

    It all depends on what size tubing you'll be using.
    Personally I favour the Hydor L30, the only downside is it requires 240V. It's easy to rig up if you're confident soldering a relay inside your power supply or will turn the plug on when you use the computer.
    If you've rather go for a 12V one, i've heard only good things about the new DDC :D

    OK thanks, i'm going for 1/2" ID tubing tbh... I dont mind either 12v or mains really. Where can I pick up one of those pumps you mentioned?

    Laing/Swiftech/DangerDen DDC. it's small, compact and strong.

    They're both avaliable here. I also see they've added two XSPC 12V pumps, if the radiators are anything to go by those things should be great :D

    Yea, I figured that... the non- crossflow suits mine best.
