I said "desired" not "had". Also an admittedly enthusiast point of view when posting at the OCAU extreme cooling forums. Most of these guys probably do have a 120x240mm (or rough equivalent) sized cores. They tend to mount them flat at the tops of their cases, or in the CD-ROM drive bays, or in the lower-front for larger cases. I do agree though that the "mass" Australian market wouldn't be that different to the USA mass market though.

Which brings us back to the point - what are we really testing here? Whether or not a particular manufacturer/reseller happens to sell a certain kit that does align fairly well with the DIY enthusiast point of view? What does that prove though? What does that have to do with "German" vs "USA"?
