Convert.exe is the bomb program for conversions, it covers all the measurements you have listed in your webpage, and many, many more. Highly recommended, have used it for years.
Thanks for the kind words.

The conversion module appears to be working fine here. I know it's a little sketchy, but you never need to scroll down the whole page: you can simply click on the unit that you want to convert. The bug is that the cursor doesn't change to let you know that you can do this: I guess it's because of how this module was designed.

It's going to need a few more conversions, for water cooling purposes.

I might add a download link in a new section: I'm still building up that part of it.

I had to move the currency converter to the front page: it doesn't work otherwise (I haven't tried to fix it to work on other pages yet).

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the results.The only thing that worries me is the run time of this PHP coding, and more specifically, how functional the site is in Europe.

I'm also planning to add multi-lingual support, to include whatever language is available for this Mambo front end (French, Russian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Czeck, ...). I'll also create a custom module to show "top 5 forum threads". Lots of work ahead.



Back on topic...

The connecting fins in the middle are really critical: they're the most significant fins off the baseplate, as they sit right over the core, and extend the effective surface area.
