Really lovely. At the front we can find a flow-control meter. If it spins you're all set. A little warning though, as my cat got really dizzy after following the blades for like half an hour.

However, if it does not turn/spin/rotate you are fracked. The beauty of the Reserator 2 is if the flow is too low an alarm will warn you. I checked it out (pinched the tubing) and after a while indeed you'll hear an alarm go off. Fantastic stuff.

So basically this is a small Home Theater PC setup I have going on here in one of the bedrooms.

HTPC (Home Theater PC). Basically this computer functions as a playback center for media files. It has Media Center installed and is hooked up to a Dolby Digital sound system and of course a nice HD screen.

The reason why I equipped this system with the Reserator 2 really was two-fold. I wanted optimal cooling yet as it is an HTPC I needed it to be really silent. Now this system ladies and gents is silent. You do not hear the pump yet the graphics card and CPU are optimally cooled down. The only noise coming from this HTPC is the sound of the HD's and the PSU. It is really staggering how silent this PC now is.

But of course, since you are on Guru3D.com you want to see some numbers also eh? Let's have a look at temperatures at idle and full system load.
