If you can fit a D-Tek Cooler Core (at $42.00 with 1/2" fittings) it will likely cool better than both (it's the same as the Big Momma, but cheaper and 1/2").

Secondly, I'd get the Black Ice, much easier to mount than the standard heater core style, and not much difference really in cooling performance (however only availably in 3/8", you'd need to convert yourself for best performance).

Thirdly the BE Cooling Cube. Effectively made of the same AC core stock as Danger Den, but more tubes / fins (I believe 20 pass). Also the flow has been split amongst two paths to better flow threw the unit, and will accept 1/2" or 3/8" hose (it's actually 7/16", right in between)

Lastly the Danger Den Unit. Not much different than the BE unit, however smaller (could be a plus in a small case). Only suited for 3/8" hose unless you want to do extensive brazing to mount a header like the BE units. Also due to the single flow threw I think 15 passes, the unit kills flow rate in a system.
