Is that enough chrome for ya? Though it hasn't been tested (You doing something with it JD?), I'll bet a lot that it outperforms a Polarflo TT, granted by only 2-3C. No dissimilar metals to boot (pretty sure that the TT has some AL in it).

Nice rig, RAINFIRE. I especially like the paint job on the Radiator. Paint the res next? Personal critique:

1. Lose as much of the purple crap inside the case as you can.
2. Put black foam sound insolation everywhere on the inside of the case, as neat as you can. This makes steel cases look much better as the internal panels appear as only "black sheets" instead of "grey machine formed panels". I've done it before, it looks MUCH better. With the yellow paint, it could really be slick.
3. Tidy up the wires and find a black blower fan.
4. Redo the window a bit. Just looks a little..... cheap?

All IMHO, take it for what it's worth to you.
