Not for me then or now? Perhaps join OCAU and then check it out?
Anyhow, its a mini-minor radiator, so should be plenty in the wreckers in the UK!

I ran 2 rads, each 130 x 150 vertically. They were shrouded and had fans, so really poorly configured for passive operation. Yet, they cooled a XP1600 @ 1433 via an ancient Maze 1 at only 20 degrees above ambient.

All I am saying is to make use of the fans you use. The graph near "zero" air flow is very steep. Best avoided.

. Turn it down. How slow can you get the fans before the CPU hits 50 or 60 degrees? How much heat is the pump adding (like, do you have an overpowerful pump)?

How much hacking can you stomache? I'd find a radiator sized externally the same or slightly smaller than the case's lid, and hack the entire lid off. Then I'd make all fans intake fans, and thus all air comes into the case and then exits over the big radiator.
2nd idea is to get a normal 120.2 sized rad and lie it down at the back out about 2 inches from the back of the PC. Yes, vertical is not as good, but meh.
