After more thought I would like to bounce more ideas off of you guys.

I have two ideas about how to possibly setup multiple heatercores.

One I know would work but I feel it is....awkward do to the surface area it would take up. (one hole per heatercore in a plane)

The second idea is a little different.

For the purpose of my a mental picture, think of a square (24"x24") piece of plywood, then cut two rectangles in it. This is where it gets tricky. Put a, say 4" tall, piece of narrow wood down middle, length wise of the rectangles cut out of the piece of plywood. Now lean one side of a heatercore on the edge of the piece of wood running down the middle of the cut outs, and the other side of said heater core on the edge of the cut out.
So it's profile looks something like this.
|\
(the " | " is the piece of wood, the " \ " is the heatercore.)
Repeat with a second heatercore on the other side of the center piece of wood, like this:
/|\
Then seal the open gaps on the sides and place a fan underneath to draw from bother heatercores.

The idea is to getaway with less fans and to reduce the "foot print" of having four heatercores.

Would the fans be operating at a higher efficency with respect to effective CFM as per RPMs?
Am I right to think net resistance to airflow(after accounting for directional change do to angle of entry vs angle of exit) would be reduced for fans having more than one heatercore to pull from?

I believe I understand the implications, basically threw heatercore air velocity would be reduced per heatercore, based on number of heatercores.
