Thanks Brians256, I'll do exactly that. After a bunch of strange math using data on some of those radiators, I figure a 16" x 43" radiator of this type http://www.houseneeds.com/shop/manua...lectpanels.pdf (model No. SS 40 120 G) would be able to dissipate 382 watts with no air flow and a delta T of 50F. The radiator holds 0.63 gallons.

I'll contact the manufacturer and ask about pump recommendations, but I wanted to check that I'm looking in the right ballpark for heat dissipation amounts first. The system components so far are an Opteron 1.xx series (55w), mobo undecided, 3ware 9xxx series RAID card, 500 watt PSU and 8 hard drives. That whole system looks like it would draw less than 250 wattts to me. Stupid question, but a 500 watt PSU delivering 250 watts will release how much heat into the system? I can figure everything out but the PSU and would love some help on that.
