    I bought this water cooled spindle some time ago and am about to buy a water cooling system to go with it. When I asked about the radiator and pump heat rejection requirements etc. the seller helpfully suggested 'any kind of pump' to go with this system (didn't sell anything suitable himself).

    So with that less than helpful spec I'm looking for options to cool this, anyone own one or something similar? My research has shown people using PC CPU coolers, and this Thermaltake 850i seems to be working for someone:

    I've heard these spindles have a high flow resistance, and blowing into the inlet port last night confirmed this subjectively. My suspicion is that I need something which can create alot of pressure, but probably not need much in the way of flow.

    I'm tempted to go for the Thermaltake option at about £90, but anyone used anything else? Looking to buy one ASAP to get the spindle running at last!

    Thanks
