I was wondering what the drawbacks are to using a large heater core?
Here's why. I am making a water cooling setup, and was thinking on how to mount it, and I have decided I am going to make a ~4-5" extension on the bottom (so it'll be 4-5" taller). I was think of getting a larger heater core (since it can cover quite a large area, the size of the bottom of my case, which is 7.625" x 16.5. I wouldn't get one that size, but I can fit a fairly large hc in there. What do you guys think?
I am going to keep the bottom of the extension open, and about 1/2" up for the air to go out of, and I am going to make some nice vents on top where the air comes in through. I have some ideas on how to make it look nice. I am also going to mount my pump in there I think.
