Okay, I'm starting to get upset... every friggin plan I have in mind keeps getting messed up, can anyone tell me why Innovatek dual fan heat exchangers/radiators are a full inch longer than any other radiator I can find?

Innovatek: 320mm x 145mm x 45mm
AquaComputer: 264mm x 130mm x 50mm
Black Ice/Danger Den: 279 mm x 133 mm x 25 mm

I'm guessing the Aquacomputer may be shorter becuase the fitting mount in the side and stick out which would add some length to the side (although probably not 56 mm).

Is there some reason they're so much larger? Is it some kind of added surface area? Does the added surface area promote cooling or just add restriction? Why do Innova radiators have the little black end pieces but the AC radiator just loops back inside iteself within the area of the fans?

I've pretty much already decided I'm going with one of the German companies, but I can't decide now. Grrrrr.
 
No particular reason... Well you know how German companies like to be different, right? I took a look at some of the Innovatek rads Sharka had in stock and said the same thing! No Innovatek rads in my box :eek:

So that leaves a Aqua Computer Evo 240 right? How about a HWL BI Pro 240? Use an Aqua Computer grill and your set! For the least installation hassles do the Evo 240 + Evo grill.
