It's then easy to build a "chimney" the same size as the rad, using the side of the PC as one wall. A chimney will provide some "stacking pressure" that'll help move air through the rad.

BTW, the 2-766 goes in an 84-96 AMC eagle and is $40 at partsamerica.com (currently free shipping) - and it's a single pass rad, which, for the silent-running crowd, means you can use a slightly lower powered pump and possibly reduce noise a tad

Just a thought, of course...
hmm, that could actually be portable pretty easily too, with some hinges on both the rad and the chimney...
