Ah good to see that you don't let facts get in the way of a good rant. A challenge:

V12|V12 if you can find a heatercore for $8 in a scrapyard that is of exactly the same dimensions as a thermochill 120.2 or 120.3 or 92.1, then I will buy it from you for however much they are selling them. Should be no problem; for a company to exist on scrap heap scavenging then there must be tons of such cores out there ripe for the picking.

The fact that there are not and that the PC-sized rads are custom built for HWLabs and thermochill seems obvious to most. And to a few of us, the fact that there are 100 years worth of automobiles that use mostly standard sized cores with a huge and steady demand for replacements explains the fact that car heatercores are cheap. It isn't trivial to get a mfgr to retool a plant for a special size.

Closest car heatercore to a HWLabs design is a Geo Tracker core, and I think that they are as expensive as a BI Extreme...
