One thing... the duct tape. If you dont care how it looks, thats cool, but duct tape dries up eventually. You could retape it with aluminum tape at least, if you really dont want to build/buy a shroud. That would last longer. I'd use a real shroud but thats just me. How far are the fans from the rad?
Another thing... Wont air get caught in the radiator with it mounted that way? That may be your biggest problem.

The copper union is to allow a gentler curve to the cascade. The lumen is no narrower than the other barbs in the system. That's cheap vinyl tubing and doesn't bend in 2 directions well.
The duct tape is hopefully temporary. The shrouds that 2fresh sells cover the whole rad (including the barbs) and won't fit in a setup like this. He may make new ones or I could grab some sheet aluminum and snip some myself. The fans are 1" or so from the rad.
I was wondering about the possibility of an air trap in the rad. I could always drill a tiny bleed hole at the top and cover it with a short sheet metal screw and washer. How much of an issue is that?
