I need something that can act as a radiator NO MORE than 5 3/4 wide * 3 1/4 tall * 2 iches deep. Smaller the better. Preferably it would be a matrix design (a la heater core design) and not a single pipe that's looped design. However that will be accepted also.

Hope you find it, though!

I got one of those lil rad's from iceberg kit laying around, not sure how it would do with a decent pump and block. Also you might have a look at the BI Micro's. If you are interested in mine, PM me and we'll make a trade or something. Also I've seen small tranny/oil coolers that might fit, I dunno how well it would work tho.

peace.

Go to your local radiator shop and see if they can "cut" a HC that is close, to your specifications.

OK, HERE YOU GO - heater core design, you want 5X3X2, how about 4X3X2?

Be cooling has it.
http://www.aquastealth.com/

Now, my understanding is that
A) the bigger the heatercore, the better the cooling, and this one is pretty small

B) Even a small heatercore should cool better than most air cool fans, and will be much quieter.

************
The most compact addition to the Black Ice PC Radiators series. Built around an 80mm fan form factor, the Black Ice Micro fits the duty where compact size and performance matters most.

3/8" pre-angled inlet/outlet barbed hose connectors. Ultra-compact 100 x 82 x 50 mm (4 x 3 x 2 inch) dimensions allows it to fit in any case with an 80mm fan
**************

Enjoy.

Yeah a possible winner here. However we need to find something cheaper It aint like there places get the heater cores custom built. I wanna know where they get them from LoL!

Side note. I've never been so broke in my life. Between Christmass, New Year's party, car payment, insurance payment, Paying for another semisters room and board before Christmass all in the span of less than a month. Did I mention I've never been so broke in my life ROTF!
