What I had in mind was either two Zalman Reserator towers or two innovaKonvekt-O-Matic PASSIVE MAXI radiators.
Any comments on either of these choices?
I will probably hire someone on these forums to mill out the HDD blocks. |
May I recommend something different than Zalman or Innovatek? I'm sure they work, but you can purchase the same exact thing on ebay for much cheaper. Go to ebay and search for transmission cooler. You'll see some entries that look exactly like Zalman's reserator minus pump and tubing. Here's
one.
Have fun!
