The picture speaks for itself, thanks to lsevald for the heads up. Itīs available here in Norway! W00T! It takes 15 (!) 120mm fans.

Beats mine with only 2 X 120mm fans:

Itīs just crazy. Wonder what kind of pump it takes to get the water through that?
Umm, yeah. That's a wee bit past insane IMO.

Uh, yeah... why do they use 120mm fans on a radiator that big? Why not use one of <a href="http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/twinline.htm">these</a>? The only way you could outflow that with 120mm fans is to use 15 fans that flow 120cfm+, and the only two I can think of off the top of my head are YSTech and Delta units that are so loud that there are probably laws against using 15 of them at once...
Better yet, why not just build a shroud and use two of <a href="http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/175.htm">these</a>? I pulled the 16" one off the Mercedes the other day (the parts car, not the one I drive) and it moves a lot of air. It also sounds like a prop plane. And, it draws enough power to make a molex connector burning hot... :eek:

WuGaRoO... it's totally silent. It's a radiator... the fans make the noise, not the radiator. DUH! :D ;D
