A few come to mind, like:

car-radiator.com
carradiatordirect.com
discountradiators.com
radiatorconnection.com
internationalradiators.com

There is no limit to how big a radiator you can use, but you quickly reach a point of diminishing returns. If you're running a peltier or two, then you would want a bigger one than if you were not. With a decent water block, a decent 6x6 will suffice for ambient cooling.

You want to look at oil coolers and transmission coolers.

I agree with Crystal Method also check into stuff for motorcycles (high performance) I saw one the other day on a KAW very slim it looked just perfect. Good luck

Well I just ran by Pep-Boy's autoparts and grabbed a big 11 1/4?x"9 3/4x"1" transmission oil cooler. It's just a big black radiator :)

Just try your local junk yard....
they should have lots of diffrent one to choose from...

i know its not a online site like you wanted but it is another way of getting what you want..

P.S. ask them to do a preassure test on it.. just to make sure it all right:)

*blink* I've not been gone, I often only check the forums once per day you know.

If by 12x5 you mean one of those things with a 4-pass tube arrangement with a bit of Al clipped on for fins then they make a big diff. Check Bills radiator article.

Go to the front page at overclockers.com At the left of the page is a list of catagories for articles on overclockers. Click on "water cooling" at the bottom of the list. This brings up a list of articles on water cooloing. Look for an article dated 11/14/01 and entitled "Radiator Heat Dissipation Testing" by Bill Adams. In his testing, he found a SERCK radiator to be the best, and the Big MaMa second best. I haven't been able to find a Serck, but the Big MaMa is available for about $50 on www.caseetc.com. dangerden.com has a heater core for $35, don't know how good it is though.

The DD core is almost identical to the Big Momma, chances of getting different performance are very slim.

[JoeCrappa]

i bought mine on ebay. works well.

Get a duct on that core! All radiators should have fans ducted 1-2" off them, not directly mounted - less noise, more air.
