Since I don't feel like reading through 10000x pages, do we need our own fittings if gabe doesn't include any? Like would I need say 4x compression fittings and then a bit of tubing between them correct? Also, this may sound stupid as I never explored rad sandwiching but how would you mount the fans? I'm assuming you don't screw them in to both sides so.....

just 3 pages, not 10,000

i hope it's not rude to post .. but give this a thought

a length of MCR320 is 410mm right? fans 25mm thick, MCR is 34mm thick ..

how bout ..

MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan + MCR120 + fan
= 34(7) + 25(7)
= 413mm (wind tunnel?)

just a thought ...

ps: you could stack 4xMCR320 below TJ07

**Mark90** · 02-24-2009, 09:14 PM

Lol ^^
16.5 inches long, its possible to do if you really need to lol.
20.1 inches long for 38mm fans. Use 7 high speed panaflows.
I wonder how restriction and how the temps would be likes lol.

Imagine what you could do with a mountain mods case lol.

Someone create a dual top mod for a RD30!

It only makes sense to include plugs. If you dont, customers are going to purchase it and then get all pissed off that they dont have the required hardware to stack their rads. Besides, no one would be purchasing a stackable radiator unless they were going to stack it, or were retarded in which case they should be charged the extra money for being stupid.

And yes I voted Gabe.

**Groveling_Wyrm** · 02-24-2009, 10:06 PM

Thanx Gabe!!! I have SEVERAL different uses for stackables.

Also, thanx for taking some feedback from us here at XS!!!!

**soulesschild** · 02-24-2009, 10:48 PM

Thanks Gabe! Any word on availability/shipping dates?

**iandh** · 02-24-2009, 11:07 PM

This may bring new life to an MCR220 I've had laying around for a while.

are you planning a MCR-QP-RES-STACK series too? i have a spare 220QP-RES downstairs

**smee** · 02-25-2009, 11:50 AM

Holy snap Gabe!!! Thats amazing!
I have 2x MCR320's. 2x MCR220's. and MCR120, I think I'll now have to get two of these stackable MCR320's. xD

Your awesome!!

Edit: Wait, how do you put screws in for the fans in between?

**DarkCow** · 02-25-2009, 06:31 PM

Jab-Tech is planning on getting a bunch of MCR320 stackables soon. I'll post results of Low CFM single, High CFM single, Low CFM stacked, High CFM stacked.

Easy....Allan head cap screws. You can get the screw in and the allan key has an angle to fit. Might be a little trickier with 25mm fans though.

**bot@xs** · 02-25-2009, 06:49 PM

i already saw them on ebay.

**msgclb** · 02-25-2009, 07:17 PM

How hard is it to remove a snap rivet and once removed can it be reused?

I'd hate to end out damaging a radiator because the rivet is stuck on too tight. I have one MCR320....a stackable unit would be a nice addition. Would 3 YateLoon mid-level fans work well with a stacked pair of MCR320s???

They are easy, fingernail, knife, whatever, to pry the "male part" up, and out, then pry the "female part" up and out. Re-use them forever. I have them on all my fans, got some with a lian-li a long time ago then when some computer website company went under got a whole bunch for cheap.

**Waterlogged** · 03-10-2009, 12:01 AM

40 now in stock @ Jab-tech.

**pneubmatic** · 03-10-2009, 06:30 AM

I got mine from Jab-tech yesterday. My only complaints: It didn't come with instructions or the required tubing. Small annoyances, really, but the instructions really would have been handy for showing the correct way to install the rivets. The rest of my system uses 3/8" ID tubing, so getting the 1/2" ID tubing required for the stackable meant making a late night run to Home Depot. I really don't like to buy products that don't include *everything* you need to use and/or install the product in the box. Even if you have to bump the price up a buck or two, it would be very nice to have about three inches of 1/2" ID tubing included with the rad.
