Radiators with huge fans?
topic is quite self-explanatory, but here's some details:
i'm looking for a radiator... a big radiator... with a very big fan. i'm talking 140mm+ (that's 5½"+) in width and height. i was thinking about building a case and if I can find one of these, it'd be perfect for my design. i could theoretically go as big as 220mm. that's about 9".
speaking of huge fans... has anyone mounted a table fan in a computer case?
IN CASE i cant find a big enough radiator... how difficult is it to fabricate one? anyone have any experience with that? i mean a radiator that can pass air through it, so not a passive radiator.

Heater cores and fluid coolers
In addition to your local junkyard heater cores and such, you can try a variety of auto parts stores on line. Summit Racing (www.summitracing.com) has an online store. Just go to their heating and cooling department and either check out "heater cores" or "oil coolers". The last has a section on general fluid coolers which you can search by size.

You COULD go more extreme and get an aluminum car rad from Fluidyne, and attach two electric fans to it. However, you'll have to find a way to reduce the fittings from 1.5" to 1/2".
