Thanks for the link Blackeagle....i can find just about any shape i'd want! Probably for a reasonable price as well. Definitely worth looking into. How well would heatercores perform if I were to tie 2 together in series (and then sandwhich a 120mm fan between them)? I'm thinking of going with 2 smaller ones to fill the space where I have the aquacoil mounted now.

The aquacoil radiator is copper tubing with aluminum fins, the fins are pretty fine.

The only problem I would see would be in making the junctions at the split, and original ends. If they're not made right, it could throw off the flow through one of the braches. I'm thinking all of the branches would have to be approximately equal in length.

I was thinking of just making the cut with a dremal (removing about an inch of tubing) and then making the junctions out of vinyl tubing and brass or platic fittings.

I figure I have nothing to lose...the flow I'm getting now just isn't adequate, but I have a feeling this has a lot to do with the fact that it's 3/8 tubing.
