Title: Looking for an assortment of heater cores
Post by: dguy on December 04, 2003, 10:44:33 am
How's that for an odd question?

I don't care what it's from or what condition its in, so long as it doesn't leak, still flows both air & water well, and who's finned area is as close to 12cm x 12cm as possible.

No, I'm not building an oversized intercooler for my r/c truck.  ::)

Anyone have have either something that fits the bill gathering dust on a shelf, a reference of some sort which lists sizes & manufacturer part numbers?

It's not exactly wrecker-scouring weather any more, so I may have to go irritate a few people at auto parts stores.  They just love it when you ask for something, but don't have a year/make/model to give them.   ;D

 :o  That sounds way too big for what I want to try, but thanks for the offer.

There's a big empty space above the power supply in the victim PC; I'd like to fit a heat exchanger inside the case, with a single 120mm fan & some ducting to pull fresh air through it.

My crappy drawing below sortta-kinda illustrates it.   :-\

If it's not hard to get at, can you give it a quick measure and let me know the width/height/length?

Thanks for taking the time to measure it, Marc.  Unfortunately it's 1/2 an inch too long  ::)  (I just checked).  D'Oh.
