If its without Id guess it would perform about the same with quieter fans. Else I dunno.
Im looking at the large 12" x 17" ones but those are single tubes multi-pass ones. Iwaki here I come

The ones I have been looking at are the
Derale Series 8000 single pass ones. They're plate and fin, and don't appear to be much different than the swiftec 676, but I haven't seen a 676 up close, only a lot of product spec. pictures. I'm not 100% on the overall size after the mounting stuff, but FWIW, the measurements I've seen on the smallest one is 6" x 11" x 3/4" Almost perfect for three 120mm fans after I figure out how to shroud it properly. Unfortunately they're solid aluminium. Also, they have 3/8" push on barbed inlets and outlets, but from the way it looks, you may be able to cut off the barbs and put on 1/2" barbs, though I don't know how well you'd be able to join new barbs to to the tanks since they're Al.
Also, Derale makes a plate and fin single pass that's 11.25 x 11 x 3/4 which I'm sure would do fine. I don't even know how you could fit anything bigger than that in even a full tower unless you're using an external kit?
I just got a lead from my local NAPA manager about a guy around me (Orange Cty, NY) who may have copper ones, though I don't know if he's going to have copper ones with copper turbulators, or if the turbulators are going to be Al. If they're copper/copper, I'll let you know.
