The Corsair H50 might be what you're looking for. Link.

i can see a lot of problems down the line with the h50..to much mechanics leeds to faults

That can match a Prolimatech, comes with a fan already and is cheaper.

that does look nice and id say it would fit in my antec 1200 a lot better than a razer gaming keyboard thanks ...ill look on the web for benchmark reviews

The mechanics seemed fairly straight forward to me. What is it about the design / engineering that leads you to that assumption?

(Not having a go mate. Interested because I'm probably getting one shortly).

Since the H50 has trouble matching the Meghalahems i'd definitely go for this.

well what i was thinking about the h50 if the pump fails your up the stream with no paddle...if a fan fails well replace it
