If you had read my thread saying l was going to upgrade my components in my custom loop, the 1st upgrade was the Rad > BI GTS 360 to a BI GTS 420 Triple 140mm fans, well that knocked of about 4-5'c temp off the overall temps. Well ordered a Swiftech MCP35X-Res for when l finally get my Swiftech MCP35X Pump which is controled by PWM or you can manually set the pump speed, the MCP35x-Res is designed to fit right on top of the MCP35X-Pump which helps to improve the performance of the Pump. The MCP35X-Pump gets good reviews from martinsliquidlab and skinneelabs.com, if you read the review by martinns he does a small mod to the pump using abit of 1/2" tubing about 3" long which improves the performence + helps to get rid of the bubbles formed when the pump reachs a certain speed and l have read that people who have done this mod helps quieting the pump done. Which you will see l have done in photo 2, but l also have done a mod with a straight female 1/4" to 1/4 fitting which allows you to mount the Res some where else in your case with the help of some 50mm Res mounting barckets see photo 2.
1-Shows the Res with the mounting brackets on, the 1st fitting to the right of the Res is the the Straight Female 1/4" to 1/4" which when screwed onto the fitting that comes through the Res floor it will allow you to fitt any 1/4" fitting you want.
2-This photo shows the Res ready to fit anywhere you want in your case + you can see l have done martins mod with 1/2" tubbing.

The cost all together was £36incP&P, the Swiftech-Res is well made as well of the rest of the components, the Res with out the 2 compression fittings is a 125mm in lenght, with the 2 compression fittings 180mm. So if anyone is after a small Res the Swiftech Res would be just the job to fit in case with little space, if a cylindrical res is needed.
