I have this kit, and I'm wondering if I can use the radiator that was from the kit. I don't know the tube size, but I know that it's considerable smaller then 1/2". The kit's tube can fit inside the 1/2" tube...

Anyway, I want to use this radiator. I bet it will drop the temp down, and I have the room to do this (inside the case).

So, is there any tube "converter" I can buy so that the 1/2" can fit to the 2nd radiator?

Or is it not worth it?

can you unscrew the barb?
Pics would also help

Nope... No barbs at all. Here's the pic (attached).

Looks to me likes it's a thermaltake product, if that is true this radiator will not increase performance, it will only decrease flow, causing a rise in temperatures. That tubing get's all the way down to 1/4" ID...
 
You should be able to find a reducer at any plumbing store. But seriously I would just get another rad with 1/2" fittings and sell the one you have. Rads are not that expensive these days. The flow hit from 1/2" to 1/4" would be substantial.
