I was looking through a junkyard for a radiator for my Caddy and run accross a large pile of air conditioner cores. They use 1/2in fittings like most watercooling systems, and I found one that was the exact same size as my side panel. (The core is 15inx16.5in and almost two inches thick.) I'm thinking about replacing the side panel with the core, putting a large fan (as in small car radiator fan) on the inside of the case(seperate power supply will run this as well as WC system). Then replace the other side with a mesh to allow air to be pulled through the case before going through the AC core. I know it sounds crazy, but thats why I want to do it. The only problem I have is can I find a pump strong enough for the huge core.
Edit: I figure many will think "why in the side of the case?" The whole point of this is to try to keep the entire system in one box to keep some semblance of "portability" while remaining audacious. Just thought I would clarify.

I had some radiator cleaner (basically pure acids, used to clean coolant systems in vehicles), so I washed some through the core. Well, I forgot to dilute the cleaner first. Theres not much left of the copper tubing running through the core.
