megansprius, before Matt beats me over the head with your post, I'd like to thank you for posting it and remark that it was very well put together. I pretty much skimmed over most of the author's remarks about the mining and other environmental impacts of the Prius since they were obviously...

Post corrected. I wasn't suggesting that those pumps be used with the R2 - hell even the MCP350 is probably overkill. It's just interesting reading.

There's actually a thread right under this concerning what may be your exact problem. It even has pictures courtesy of MadStork91. Link here.

I think it'd be funny if the reverse flow trips the buzzer alarm. 'Warning! Performance optimized beyond specifications!' Most water pumps (and all pumps used in PC cooling) are centrifugal pumps, meaning that they apply a centrifugal force on the liquid using centripetal acceleration (by...

You don't specifically mention the radiator itself, probably because the term is less appropriate with this design - am I correct in assuming that the path from the stock pump outlet to the flow meter is what spreads the heat from the water to the fins (essentially is the radiator)? So...

So the reservoir needs to be feeding the pump - do you know which port on the R2 connects to the reservoir? I'm assuming it's the IN, since I'd think it'd be best to have the coolant fill the reservoir before entering the pump, but I haven't ever seen the internals. Comments on my previous...

If you've got a diagram in the instructions for mounting an external pump, you aren't going to mess anything up by following it. :) However, that diagram probably assumes that the internal pump is still installed and operational. Since that is not the case, you may get better performance (not...

Looking at the specs of the Reserator pump vs. the MCP350, you're removing a pump with 3' max head pressure and replacing it with a pump with 13' max head pressure. You are going to have zero problems creating enough pressure to create flow. I realize that it seems like there's a lot of water...

I will say I didn't hate the Draw system. Drawing got tedious, but Magicite and Materia weren't tedium-free either. Only Castlevania I've ever played was Super Castlevania IV for the SNES. Great game with an awesome soundtrack.

Matt pointed out that unless your new pump is submersible, in should be attached externally, leaving a void where the original pump is (possibly). You seem concerned that this may cause water to flow in the wrong direction, so I wanted to specifically say that you won't have a problem in this...

I didn't get paid either, and if I had to give credit to someone for answering my question, it'd have to go to Rob W. and Matthias99 and Markbnj at Anandtech. Unfortunately I did not see your picture until this morning; I commented out of respect for the similar way in which we went about...

Here's a late observation - I think you would've done us a favor by mentioning a few more specifics about the materials used (in the Reserator itself, mainly) and the consequences associated with them. The Reserator appears to be made entirely from aluminum, but you don't specifically say. The...

I made the mistake of offering to set up a Netgear router for someone. I went ahead and used WEP security and a MAC address filter because that's what I use at home (on an old Linksys) with no problems. The IBM laptop used at my house had no trouble connecting to this new Netgear router, but...

MadStork gave a nice picture on how to set up default audio in Windows from the Control Panel. However, if you want a certain program to use a certain sound solution other than the default, you can't use Windows to set this up. Rather, the particular program you want to adjust must give you...

+1 to that. Also, you may have noticed that DDR2 prices are starting to fall through the floor in some places. Hot deals forums will probably turn up something useful.

I've had this problem before with a Razer Copperhead, and a Logitech G15 keyboard. In my case, the problem was a BIOS option called 'USB Legacy Support'. Enabling this would cause the Copperhead to not respond, disabling this would cause the G15 to not respond (until the OS was loaded). I am...

I realize you never specifically dismissed the study, but you also didn't look at it until after your second response. Dismissive, one could argue. Regardless, I'm glad you find it interesting. I'll see you around.

Well, then I guess you are a more diplomatic person than I am. In my defense, my first reply to you was very diplomatic, and encompassed my entire argument pretty succinctly. I only started getting sarcastic when you kept arguing the H/Prius issue despite the fact that I was arguing the...

Let me rephrase: See, people really can draw useful conclusions from this study. Would you consider rephrasing this: To something more along the lines of: "I don't like the way this author wrote the article, but people may be able to draw useful conclusions from the study he cites." ?

You read a lot of hostility that isn't there, Matt. I've been civil. My last comment in my previous post simply illustrates how you went from completely dismissing the article to actually examining the data presented and making a reasonable and useful speculation based upon it. That's all...
