Axle: Don't feel bad about copying my design. Actually I feel honoured by it and by the fact that appearantly, my ideas are correct. Your rad looks very good, better then mine actually, because you've soldered it instead of using compression fittings. I wish I had the room and tools to do such fine soldering. Unfortunately, in my old appartment, with wooden floors, the risk of fire is too great to do a soldering job, so I had to go with compression fittings. Anyway, I'm glad that it cools well and evenly. The only way I can think of for improvement is to make it even bigger , or go for fins, which is even better, because you get a bigger cooling area with the same flow resistance. But it would be a hell of a job to solder that. But if you decide to do that, I'd be very interested in how you do it. Looking forward to pics
PS: About the size of my rad: I've recently enlarged it. It's about twice the size of a big case now. Space is no problem, because I've just put it behind my desk against the wall, so you don't even notice it's there. Yup, size matters
