As i might have said earlier, a heatercore isnt really an option anymore for me as firstly, im looking for a new one, im kinda paranoid about old ones with gunk all over the insides and rust and leaks just waiting to blow out after a week or two of use. Anyway, getting one second hand is pretty hard too, the wreckers/smash repairs here are rather uncooperative.

Anyway, i've narrowed it down to these two possibilities.

2x J-120 Radiators, each accomodating 1x 120mm fan, or 1x Black Ice rXtreme 2.

The JR-120 rad requires fan shrouds and the Black Ice Xtreme requires no shroud as one's already built in.

The total on both come to the Black Ice being about US$10 - $20 more expensive than the two JR-120s including fan shrouds, but the JR-120 has more fittings, thus, more chance of leakage and i hear the JR-120 performs slightly better than the BIX (single 120mm fan edition)

Any ideas guys?
