yeah I also run a bong cooler and love it. You might want to read up on it because its quite cheap and simple to build yourself and you wouldn't need any rads at all lol. It will also give you better temps because of your weather.

Well February is our "rainy" month. Humidity @ the moment 60%, but usually below 30.

I forgot to add, there;s one shop in SA that do import, thats why i suggested the BIX240, but there out of stock & not expecting anytime soon.

This is really noob of me, but i only got my h2o about 3 weeks ago. I've got no idea what a bong chiller is, all i know is dirtyduck makes some. link plz?

EDIT: i also want this rig as mobile as possible, but the externally mounted rad will suit me fine.

That link will teach you everything you wanted to know about bongs and then some.

If you put some thought into it you could build yourself a bong and use quick connects to disconnect the bong and attach a rad for mobility. :P You can also use a bong and a rad at the same time although you might(but doubt it) have to get a 2nd pump and run it in parallel, that would be really nice!

Bong coolers looking good, but there goes mobility out of the window. Will definitley do it, when i get another rig up & running!

DIRTYDUCK

you can use quick connects and then all you have to do is dissconect the bong like an accessory and you can move your rig and still use it with the rads inside.

Soz guys, all out of rep for you. or it seems like that.

Which will you recommend. The zalman zfm3 or the yate loon 1650 rpm 120*120*25mm?

Another thing. What will happen if i connect 2 different fans on a sinlge channel on my zalman mfc2 fan controller. Like say a 1650rpm & a 1800rpm for arguements sake?

Well, the Zalman fans seem to have a CFM of 34... but I am not sure if that is accurate. If it is accurate I think that I would go for the Yate Loons that have a 70 CFM rating.

Either way I would go to the higher-cfm fans as they can always be turned down to accomodate a persons noise-level tolerance.

As far as wiring fans together, bear in mind that each channel has a limited amount of wattage that it can deliver.... hooking multiple fans to a single header may decrease the potential ouput for each fan on said header.

As you can see the zalman have almost 90cfm @ 1800 rpm. i used these with antec tricools & liked the zalmans more.

I got this fan dba's from another forum, can't remember where though, but they testes the cfm of the fans aswell. I just don't know which will have better static pressure. Don't think it matter really since the mcr series rads do good with low cfm fans aswell.

Those zalmans look good. I'm no expert here but can't you only have one fan per channel?
