    Might i bring up issue of such long and heavy rad mounted vertically will make center of gravity high and easy to tip over by accidental pushing. So it's wise to use fans (and maybe some fangrills aswell) on both sides of rad, to serve as extra protection of rad (i recall reading about easily dealt damage to rad from few falling accidents). And imho reasoning that owner will be careful is not enough. There are always playful children, pets, wife cleaning up place, drunk friends and alike disasters waiting to happen

    Not a bad point. I just noticed the rad weight isn't centered in the middle. Might look into that, bit tippy in one direction?
