    Slowly getting bits together fro me watercooling setup - and from my car experience I have wondered for ages whether a car heater matrix would be Ok as a rad fro PC use? SO today I finally went to breakers and pay a phenomenal £10 + VAT for a fiesta Mk2 one..

    Car heaters are much more efficient Rads than a usual card RAD - so only problem I can see is airflow over the very fine matrix - but we shall see..

    inlets are 17mm approx so should be able to get some suitable hose no problem..

    All I need now is a cheap pump :)

    No worries m8; with such a rad you should get some stonking figures. Car rads are a very good, cheap watercooling radiator alternative.

    Planning on putting it in a barebones Shuttle system? :lol:

    Nothing so elaborate - my own system when I build it into a wall mounted acrylic slim case..
