Take out the lower hard drive cage and a chevette heatercore will fit just fine. It is better than any of the black ice rads that use a single 120mm fan. You can buy one new for about $20-25 at an auto parts store. Or you buy one with barbs installed for $35-40 and it will be painted. Look at the pic of my slk-3700amb in this thread: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=15071

Hmm... gunna have to figure out a way to tear out the HDD cage...

Tell me - Do you have your Airflow going from rear to front?

You may have to drill out a few rivits; it's not a big deal to take out the drive cage.

My air flow is the normal in at the lower front and exhaust at the rear top. If you are worried about warmer air heating the components up, that isn't a concern. You want the coldest air possible going through the rad.
