So here's the original rad & a review:

Here's it gutted:
The rad itself

bottom of heat sink: shiny!

pump & resevior

The pump is silent, although I don't know the thermal capacity of the rad. It has 3/8" tubing. I actually have two of these units, but only disassembled one. They take up too much room in a case.
I was thinking, this could handle a single video card. Maybe a north & south bridge. I would not put this on a quad, possibly a dualcore. There's also the question of how to mount a fan to it and then mount the rad itself.
Any ideas?
