Help with budget pumps

Hey everyone. I am preparing to water cool my computer and currently have all the parts required except for the pump. I don't have a lot of money to spend on the pump and have questions regarding 2 pumps.

http://www.dazmode.com/store/product/ek-dcp_2_2_compact_water_pump/ This is one of the pumps I was looking at. Obviously it is very cheap and I am wondering if anybody has any experiences with it or knows anything. This is currently out of stock though.

http://www.dazmode.com/store/product/dazmode_storm_d5_strong_8-24v_pump/ This is the other pump. It is a bit more expensive but I assume better.

I won't have a very long loop so I do not need a really good pump. Will it be worth it to blow the extra $25 to get the storm D5? Or just wait for the cheaper one to be in stock.

Thanks.

The D5 is an amazing pump as pumps go.

If you want a cheaper alternative look for the Laing DDC. One of the most widely used and reliable pumps in the watercooling world.

I wouldn't recommend anything but the Laing DDC or the Laing D5. Those two are tried and tested pumps and have a very high MTBF.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Rather spend the extra money not as to avoid the need to upgrade in the future. You cannot go wrong with a D5.
