I want one of those :) where can i get them?
whoa how well does it work?
Yeah, how does it perform?
It must be able to dispense 200-400w of heat, or more...
I am set on the fact that small is good though :)

Cool, i built one of those out of 2 120mm rads! Did not know you could buy one. Where did you get it?

I have this same rad. It's a Lytron industrial heat exchanger. The fans are 6.75" (172mm, I think). Mine has two Comair-Rotron Patriot fans (24V, 235CFM/ea). One word for this rad: monster! Not just in size (20”L x 9”W x 5.75"D, with fans), but also performance. The cool thing is that I rigged the fans run off an extra 12V power supply, and thus spin at 1/2 speed. I get ~ 270CFM at 25dB max, and running CPUBurn & RunPrio (on high), I max at 7C over ambient with the fans at half speed. FYI, my CPU pushes ~98W at 88% utilization.
Where do you get em? I bought the rad on eBay for $20. Nobody bid against me. I got the fans at All Electronics Corp. for $10/ea. I had to build a gasket and I had to rig holders to attach the fans to the rad.
This rad will guarantee that your system is ghetto because it will not fit in any standard case, including a full-size Antec. It rocks though. Grab one if you can.

All most every person I've heard of getting a Lytron has got it off of e-bay cheap. Not bad at all. I would love to get ont just ot test it out.
BTW, that is a monster amount of air flow for below 30dB. How did you measure that?

I cheated!!! I didn't really test it, but the fans run at 49dB, and they are rated to 235CFM/each. Since they run at half speed, they are literally at a whisper level, but the airflow is tremendous. You can barely hear them at all (running OUTSIDE of my case)... and I am VERY sensitive to noise levels. I should go out and measure them, but for me, if I can't hear them, I love them! No need to measure if you can't hear em! Anyway, by going overboard in the radiator and fans, and running them slow, I get fantastic cooling at a quiet level.
The only drawback, as I mentioned, is the nasty ghetto look.
BTW, the way I run them slow is because they are 24V fans. The fans have "+" and "-" barbs on them. I got a p/s molex Y-splitter, cut the yellow (12V) line and a black ground, then crimped barbs on them, plugged the molex connector to my 12V p/s. The fans run great (24V, 1A/ea) on 12V. Quiet, and if you feel the airflow, it seriously pushes huge air. When I rigged it to the rad, I used gasket material to create a seal; the seal works great. Overall, it really worked out better than I anticipated. No matter what test I put my system through, it wouldn't exceed 7C over ambient. For reference, the stock Intel h/s is about 23C over ambient on my system, so I get a 16C delta.

I just checked eBay. There's a copper Lytron heat exchanger for auction on eBay, and it has a couple fans attached. Check it out:

Another one industrial, no fan needed LOL

Maybe. I'm thinking about hanging it off the side of my case to simplify things.
BTW, I was looking at eBay and a vendor is selling 5 Thermatron industrial heat exchangers in bulk. The current bidding is at $30 for a lot of 5 and the vendor told me that they have 50 to sell. These rads include fans and built-in shrouds. Not a bad deal, if the shipping isn't too much (and, if you have the need for 5 rads).
I wonder if the one roscal posted can fit in my case? lol :D
dont know if they still do, but allelectronics.com had a bunch of 24V 6.75" Comair-Rotron Patriot fans for like $13 each, used ones for $9.50 each (they do 235 cfm *drool*) - just checked, yes they still do:

That's where I got mine. The $9.50 "used" ones work great and they have electronics in them for speed adjustment based on temperature feedback.
