Has anyone read anything about a fan shroud for a 120x3 radiator? Or maybe someone knows a somewhat easy way to build one? I'm plopping one in a SM stacker case, looking to eliminate the enormous deadspot on these deltas (I guess 150+cfm comes at a price :D ) while still fitting one 5-1/4 and one 3-1/2. Any ideas on these two things?

I have a BIX3 rad, but I cant imagine the dimensions can be that different. At least its a starting point. Thanks !

I built me own by using 3 coolingworks 120mm shrouds, I cut them using a dremel then welded them togethor using JBWeld. The downside is that it cost me $30 and it was a b***h to mount onto the BIXIII rad though its prety much perfect now. I'll try to get some pics after I find my digicam.

here it is, notice theres a slight gap (1-2mm) between the shroud and rad, some tape or silicon should sort this.

You can make one yourself out of cardboard or aluminum if you want to get fancy:
