Thanks for the input.

The 2-144 would offer you 23% more cooling area without the need for extra connections which will increase head loss, and not such a huge resistance for air flow.

As I was going to use copper fittings with an internal Diameter Slightly larger than my tubing, head loss would not be that big if a deal.

Why not go with a 2-144 (fedco) core if you want more than 1 scoop rad can give? 11 1/4" x 6 1/8" x 2 1/2" Total area of core = 172" of volume.

That is true. I have decided to go in a total different approach. I am going to make a plexi box that a desptop case is gonna sit on. I am going to use negative pressure with 4 fans. I am going to use 4 of these radiators: http://www.heatercore4u.com/2-558.htm . I will split the flow between them all. I will use 2 pumps one before the rads, and one after.

What are your cooling needs? TEC's X ??? Is this going to have to be in case? Seems that 2 rads of that size would be a tough fit in most cases.

I will be cooling a processor (not sure which one yet), northbridge, gpu, powersupply, and possibly a hard drive or two. I also want to be able to tec anything in the future if I so desire.
Thanks again for all your help,
