Different Radiator Solutions

I've been hanging on some other boards, and can you believe I have never once seen reference to heat exchangers or condenser coils?

So, given your d'ruthers, which would you go with?
Dual heater cores?
Heat Exchanger?
Condenser coil?

The condenser coils seem a bit ... thin, although the added width and length probably give you the same cooling surface area as a heater core, it seems.

I'm on unfamiliar ground here, and could use some opinions.

Thanks all

I have bought a larger than normal heater core. This is a 9.25" X 6.375" X 2", it is also a single pass type. Should be very low restriction and can take up to 4 120mm fans. That should cool pretty well.

Just another way to go.

And is not "heat exchanger" a term that could be correctly applied to heater cores or rads of any type and even waterblocks? They are all heat exchangers, of differant sorts.:shrug:
