jtroutma: Thanks for the input. I do have access to 120mm fans that run on A/C current (or atleast appear to), so I'm planning to go with those. I don't think that a 20in. floor fan would have the same draw/focus that smaller fans would have.
Cova: I get what you're saying about the rad working more efficiently, but I'm curious as to why you think that's better. It's almost as if you're saying that one should heat up the water so that you could say that your rad is operating at 99.99999% effeiciency. I think that if your temps are good, or even outstanding, what difference does it make if your rad is only operating at 50% efficiency? Like I said in BigBen's thread about pressure and stuff, I think that there are two roles for a rad....initial cooling and maintenance cooling. Maintenance cooling may be only 50% efficient, but if it's maintaining a satisfactory temperature, shouldn't that be enough? I understand the need for efficiency, but I think that in this case efficiency should be relative. As a matter of fact, wouldn't the least efficient rad make the best one at the maintenance cooling stage???
