Dimensions 24cm X 15cm X 5cm

Enough 2 fit a Dual 120mm fan :D

So you think that this will be suitable to support a GPU Pelt, CPU Pelt, and Hydor L30 in the setup? I think so, but do you?

Also how would I go about making a shroud? Could acrylic work? I got so much of that stuff.

That's a beast dude... it should be 'nuff to handle those two blocks. As to a shroud, don't bother, unless you want to use 2x80 with lil shrouds vs 2x120

Hm, no shroud? I was thinking to make it like 1 inch thick, just so it doesnt rest on the heatercore. Would this make any diff or not really?

It might make a bit of a difference - it may eliminate a wee bit of the dead zone due to the fan motor, but other than that, no point really.

Alright, its worth a shot though, Ill see with it on and off, also, should i do 4 120mm fans, 2 on each side, will this make a huge diff or just a lot of unnecisary noise?

It may be worth a shot, but it depends if you want to bother. As to the two fans, i've seen the push/pull effect work, but it's usually by maybe 1-2c. This is dependant on your fans as well - if you use low rpm sunons, the noise increase won't be all too bad. If you use deltas, well.... I'd say start with 2 fans, then add another two if you need em.

Im going to be using SVC Red Led fans at 70 CFM -39DBA each on a Sunbeam Rheobus, so I think ill go for this. Thanks for your help :)

hmm i disagree, if its possible in any way, go for a shroud.

I plan on it, since I get my WC stuff in a month, i have awhile to do something with my heatercore, also what about paiting it? What paint should I use?

The shroud with double fans does more than help with the fan motor dead zone. Consider the fact you also gain air flow through the area of the rad that with bare fans would lie under the fan's frames. And the rads are a inch wider than the fans you wish to use, without a shroud more cooling area is lost there as well.

Plexi shrouds should work just fine and plexi is easy to work with.

I'd say do the quad fans only if you're disapointed in the temps you get with just 2.

If you do not already have the L30 you might wish to check out the new Swiftech 600 series pump.

Almost any auto paint will do - just be sure to make it match your colour scheme.

Well, I think im going to go with Eheim 1260, because I have to get all the parts from one place. Dont think my parents will go for the whole, buy everything from seperate places, not to mention they are weary about ordering online anyways especiall with a credit card. So Im going to go for the Eheim 1260, 600 GPH pump, this heatercore those 2 Maze4-1 CPU and GPU in the setup. Lemme search around for paint, so really any would work, any that I shouldnt look at, that will corrode the rad maybe? Also, when I get this rad, if I have to clean it up, what should I use to do that?

Im considering 4 120mm fans, but the ammount of space that it will take up, wow. lets see... thats 100mm not including the shoruds.

It sound like it'll work but where are you getting 100 cm from? Don't you mean 100 mm?

Yeah, i meant that, lol. Ill see what paint I have lying around if not, ill pick up dark red auto paint :D Im in the middle of modding, so I think a red rad will go best, do you think?

Its going as an intake, gotta pop the rivents on the HD racks holders though.

Looks nice so far, but how are you gonna fit that under the Bezel up front? Or are you just going on a cutting spree... :)

Cutting spree is next :D

Now where did I put those fan springs....

I've gotta see this.... post pixs soon!

Will do, I should just make a log... Ive done so much so far.

Here is a pic of my custom side panel.

Looks Niiiiiice So Far. I take it you're envisioning red top, black fins, chrome barbs for that rad? Also, where is it going?

something of that sort... I dont know how I would make the barbs chromed.. or silver without paitning. Could I take a wire brush on a rotory tool and it would make it silver?

Maybe. Just brush or sand it down to bare metal than polish would probably work. Oh - pics 4-6 are all dupes...

well im going to clean it up with some kaboom tommorow
brush the outside down and paint / polish

:) ill keep ya updated

Maybe. No point though - it's gonna be obscured by both case and tube. Also, going to dye the water?

Updates are good.
