well, i do'nt want to put you off, but making your own rad can yield fine results (think gershwin has) but most of those have proven to be very good, only on the account because they are alot bigger than an HC.

so, you don't have to look hard to find a nice junkyard HC for 10 - 15$ and look a bit harder and finding one that is 150x150x50 won't be that difficult.

whichever route you take, g'luck

edit: i owned that same rad from the howto, it is large in surface but only 2/3" or 20mm thick, that brings its own advantage. getting one that is half the surface area and twice as thick should make for an equally good radiator. but damn that hayden was a nice rad, it could compete very well against the HC'z (because the 2 120's you could mount no doubt)
