I still haven't pinned down a radiator. And to make matters worse, now I'm having second thoughts about my custom waterblock due to the new Maze-2. Arrgghh.

All my water cooling crap is going to be installed into a custom made enclosure so size and fit isn't really an issue anymore...phew!

Right now, I'm thinking something like (2)Big Mama's or Black Ice radiators. The reason for 2 is that I want this custom water cooling enclosure to be something that will be adequate for many moons to come and NOT have to be updated anytime soon. Therefore, everything going into this setup is being "supersized". So even though it will prolly be overkill in the beginning I want to be able to grow into it when I add another TEC or a SMP setup or whatever.

So anyway, I'm pretty up on all the radiator news and reviews but even with all the info that's available, I STILL feel like I don't have adequate information to make an informed choice. (There just haven't been any REALLY decent comparison of radiators!)

I'm waiting right now for Chip to complete a radiator shoot-out. Have NO idea when that'll be completed as busy as the poor guy is! The info he will derive from that test will be invaluable to water cooling o/c'ers everywhere! Go Chip!!

So, any comments or ideas?
I'm SERIOUSLY ready to get this water cooled rig setup like YESTERDAY and I'm tired of the wait.

ok...feeling a little better now that I've blown off a little steam (no pun inteded)
