I've made a radiator out of coiled copper tubing before, although it was such a long time ago all i cooled with it was a 750mhz duron or something.

The tubing you are thinking of should be flexible enough, but do yourself a favor and buy a 'pipe/tubing bender' or whatever it is actually called. It only costs a few bucks and looks like a coiled up spring, but you slide it over the tubing to bend it. It works better with this tool because the tubing won't crease or fold if you use it.
