What aboute reservoir design? Do some designs or materials make for "better" reservoir? ...or is the general consensus that no heat can be passively transfered while in the res, so design and materials are unimportant?
I was just asking as I was thinking about building a res with copper tubes passing through it. The plan was then to mount some push/pull fans on either side of the copper tubes. I've seen some commercial setups that use this sort of design, and I thought there might be something to it.

I'm certainly no expert, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to do as your talking about with a reservoir. It would sort of be like a second mini radiator.
