Quick Heater Core Question

heed316 · 03-01-2004, 04:59 PM

I've been looking around on here and want to build my own water cooling system. I found this heater core on ebay here and was wondering if it is any good. It is ending pretty soon so any replies quickly would be appreciated. Thanks.

looks ok - but what you need to sort out is what size of core you want - no use getting it if it won't fit in your case...

Well, I got an Antec SOHO case and this thing doesn't look too big. What kind of heater core would be the best one to buy or is this one alright?

if the core has the dimensions you're looking for and inlet / outlet sizes that are compatible for your needs then go for it.

Looks good to me. Judging by the size of the sticker on the box behind it, it looks to be a bit larger than the Chevette heatercores a lot of people like, so make sure you'll have enough room in the case and I'd say go for it. Looks like a pretty nice core.

but given the kind of shipping i suspect you'd be better buying from a local scrapyard or discount auto spares place...

Well, I never ended up buying any of the ones listed above

, but I did come across this one today while looking on ebay. I think it corresponds to this one on NAPA's website. I just want to know if thats a decent heater core and for a good price(5.00 + 7.00 shipping). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

looks ok, but do you want pipes that are vertical rather than perpendicular to the face of the core? might limit your placing options...

edit - just noticed it is the botton one i listed...

this is cheaper and seems a convenient size...
