Good deal. My first and second rigs were homebuilt cheap systems, and they were fun to build. I liked doing that more than just buying all the stuff like I did this time.

How large is that radiator? And the fan hole in the shroud?

Hi, the radiator size is 30 x 22 cm and cost me R$30,00 (10 bucks) in a refrigerator store and the hole is for a very big fan, that i didnt bought. The pump is a 250 gph(10 bucks) made in Brazil in a 5 liter bottle.
I think i wil buy 2 x12 fans for the radiator. Is really necessary to put a fan in this rad ?
Thanks and sorry the english.

Yes, you really should have a fan on the radiator, sealed against the shroud so that it is most effective. A radiator that has fins will not allow enough air to flow over it without a fan.

And don't worry about your English...it's far better than some Americans I talked to today.;)
