Since my rig acts as our residential gateway I decided to switch the system over when it would least effect everyone. That being the middle of the night. I thought I had everything planned and tested. But as I was doing the last test, that being powering the pump while inside the case with the MB and HDs. I realized the radiator had sprung a leak. I'm using a 90ford escort heater core as my radiator. Since it has no mounting bracket of its own I thought I could just shove some small blots through the fins and be fine. The radiator thoguht otherwise. While being upset I acidently spilled more H2O on the MB, Ahhhh.

So while my system drys out...Does anyone have any tips on how to mount a heatercore? It is set up in the lower front of my case. I cut a large hole where it sits but left 1/2inch for mounting. I don't mind going tout to AutoZOne and picking up another Rad it was pretty cheap but the mounting issue is killing me.

Really any suggestions will do. Thanks for any suggestions.
