I have little access to stores or scrap yards that would have rads, so I have two choices (as I am a tight ba***rd and don't want to pay import duty and high postage fees from US),
The first is the Cooler Core (it's a heater core):
Cooler Core (but with 1/2" fittings) (http://www.tekheads.co.uk/products.php?view=product&productId=600597)
The second is The Fusion 2:

Anyone had experience with these?

Read Bill's radiator article, you should see that the cooler core does better.

The heater cores are usually better then the rad you have looked at. But if the one comes with that many fans already on it it`s a better deal.

the fusion II is from OCH, it's a decent radiator, it's what i have in my system, cools just fine, but also it cools the same as the 5x7 radiator I got with the kit i bought from them. so basically it works like any other radiator would, i guess i reached my bottom temp with any style radiator, 35c. I use a bong with my radiator now, so the temps are even lower, but both performed similarly without the bong. the cool cube looks like it'd do a pretty good job, but i think you might find a better radiator from somewhere else, maybe ocuk? try there, i think they carry the black ice line and some others as well.

the fusion II is the same as my becooling rad, a cheep rad that does it's job. any heater core (the cooler core included) is however a much better radiator and will offer the best perfromance compared to any radiator. try putting the fusion II in a car, i dont think it would do too well

Cooler core beats fusion 2. Better design.
