The other day I had the idea of getting 2 heatcores, cutting off the bottoms then soldering them together end-to-end. Then place the now 16" x 8" rad at the bottom of my case. Theoretically it should have the resistance equal to that of the orginal setup just with better cooling. With the 4 fittings it would be very easy to do a 2 pump setup.

The 2 catches would be finding a case with enough clearence at the bottom, and having the need for that much ccoling.
