Well after piercing my rad with a wrong size screw 
and the loss of yet another X1800 I figured it was time to re-mod the box a bit more.
Planned mods were to of course replace the dead rad as well as add a second one of some shape or size.
I finally decided to buy a BIX to replace the lost Alphacool rad and a BIP for the secondary rad since I had both space and it was the same price as a single 120 rad.
In addition I needed to change out the tubing so I went ahead and tried the new silver-plated Tygon (1/2 -- 3/4) to see how it worked out.
The tubing itself looks great but its quite stiff and a royal pain in the *** to use at times. If you're willing to work with it I really reccomend it, but it takes alot of patience.
