Faulty pump :(

Right now I want to crawl into a corner and cry. After having a nightmare getting the bits for my i7 build in time for this weekend, I have spent most of today pulling my system apart and moving my system around, I took my graphics card out of the loop and changed my pump from a massive old thing to a Laing DDC Ultra, I added water and thought I'd give the pump a run and check for leaks, I wanted to do this without my new mobo and bits in so I got a 12v 2 Amp PSU (think its an old electric train psu) and connected the pump to it, nothing happened. The pump should be powerful enough, my dad uses it to power an inspection lamp and thats more than 18w. Now I will have to drain some water out to remove the pump.

I feel like ditching water cooling and buying a new case and a cpu cooler and returning to air :(

It makes it worse after all the hassle I had because I wanted it built this weekend, see my rant thread in general.

Someone cheer me up please. :(
 
I have put my old pump back in and I'm up and running with the Core i7 now.

You have me thinking about the pump now, its the 18w, it made no noise at all when I hooked 12v up to it, this can't be right surely?
