1) Yes it will cool a 1.4GHz T-bird quite easily. Actually if you're not using a pelt or OC'ing your CPU, as long as you can insure that there's fresh air running into your case, you can do without the fan on the radiator. But for all intents and purposes you can undervolt it. It is more quiet when the fan is placed to suck air through the rad rather than blow. (We'll have to get casual with those terms one of these days)

2) Looking at your case it would be a snug fit. Keeping the rads as small as possible is important given that default case layouts aren't made to accomodate watercooling aparatus.

3) As for the tranny oil cooler type radiators, though they are really cheap, they don't scale as well when you put on the heat. The round tubes do not necessarily conduct the heat away from the water in the center of the tube.

4) I suggest looking into the YeongYang 4000 series of cases. They all have 120mm exhaust panels in the back. Practically no modding required and the cases are quite cheap compared to evething that's out there.

Here's an updated pic of the Black Ice:



And the answer to those 2-fan tranny coolers.




Happy cooling.
