I'm designing a radiator specifically for pc watercooling. The main purpose is to fit a pair of single rads, or a dual radiator in the same dimensions as a pair of 80mm case fans. I intend to fit the rad and fan inside the atx case at the back beside the I/O. Most radiators have the barbs sticking out the sides, but my design will run the barbs through opposing corners of the fan. I'll just trim two corners of the fan to fit.

The corner pipes are triangular until they clear the fan. They then adapt to round barbs for 1/2" ID tubing. The trianglular pipe has the same cross-sectional area as a 1/2" round tube.

I'm still working out the design, and am very interested in any suggestions, comments, or questions.
