I've just been using MK3 collectors because I'm paranoid of it going shackablooie. I'm sure MK1's can work if there's enough.
Or just set up a bunch of cobblegens, like stated above. It is indeed cheaper, I'm just so lazy I head straight for EE to start, then get IC2 and RP2 going. I only use EE because I hate mining. If you don't use EE, you could do it legit and set up a big huge factory for making ice with IC and RP2.

True, but I already acknowledged the very low efficiency rating, and again: fuel is of absolutely no concern to us with the amount of uranium we've dug up and CONTINUE to dig up on almost every miner setup. Basically there are seven of us that play on the server, and about two three of us are usually on at once, plus we pool all of our uranium towards the same goal so we accumulate it very quickly. The first run of the reactors should keep us going for a few days anyway, our energy requirements aren't massive; frankly it's just more convenient than constantly sitting around in the nether, twiddling our thumbs while we wait for the miner/pump combos do belch out lava cells. The first run will "only" require 20 uranium cells, and for the 60 or more uranium ingots that remain I intend to split them among 8 cells each, producing near-depleted uranium cells and multiplying our fuel stock enough to keep us going virtually indefinitely.

Well, if the server has EE2 installed, you can make an ice condenser and also RP2 to filter it into the reactor, cooling it greatly. If you have THAT MUCH uranium you could make this easily. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…iv207ky7qeyxg80a66dhj3xog
Lots, and lots of uranium and ice, you can make a little factory for ice production with IC2 and RP2 if you wanted instead, doing it legit.
But honestly, I think if a reactor makes so much EU/t that you have to directly hook up a
just to get the EU out, it's gotta be worth it. -
Can someone make a reactor that outputs more than 2030eu/tick (maybe with swapping uranium cells?) i seen this too often already.

I made one that outputs 2050 EU/t.
EDIT: Also easier to maintain the ice than the 2070 EU/t one. -
So, here's the reactor.

Now, to get the EU out, you need to hook up a directly. Apply a redstone signal to it and use 3x insulated HV cables to take out the 2048 EU/t.
Useful on Feed the Beast for the Shit ton of Energy challenge.
Also can be transformed with a non-redstoned into 
To make lots of 
very quickly.
It is VERY HIGHLY recommended you use Equivalent Exchange 2 and RedPower2 to make the ice and use a Filter and Timer to put it in the reactor.
Basically, for the ice it's an energy condenser, 5 MK3 collectors, 4 glowstone/other light sources and 1 MK3 relay.
Use the filter and timer to do the following: Target 64 Ice in the filter so it pulls out stacks at a time.
Then place a timer next to it and set the timer to 1 second.
No water needed.
If in SMP, hide it from griefers, they can really wreck stuff with that much uranium.
