Maybe Tt isn't so bad...

A radiator THAT huge, with FIVE(!!!!!) 120mm fans, which hopefully can be swapped out for nexuses, and hopefully a pump that can provide the amount of power necessary to cool well... *drool*
That's like, the ULTIMATE external WC I've ever seen *drool*... it's like a super sized EXOS (EXOS V, you hearing me Koolance?!! ;P)

If you like a big radiator you should check out this one:

Don't know if it's avaiable in the USA but it's very popular in Germany. It performs very well, especially passive. When it's not enough you can mount 9 12cm fans =)
About the Thermaltake one, perhaps the fans are Yate Loons like the fan included with the Big Typhoon. Then there would be no need to swap the fan.

As a Reserator user who would like to move up to a dual video card / FX CPU system in the future this looks intriguing. It definitely looks like a huge upgrade in cooling capacity.
But somehow I suspect that Thermaltake + 2 pumps + 5 fans does not = silent. Quiet maybe. But silent? Even reworked with 5 Nexus fans, I suspect not....

What, only 5 fans? :p

403mm x 618mm x 51mm, space for 15 120mm fans... per side. Bloody expensive of course, but I'd love to have it for passive water cooling.

I'm running 4 Yate Loon 120mm fans (faster version of the Nexus 120) in an external rad box, and it's not silent. They're all plugged into a Nexus fan controller at the lowest setting, and while it's very quiet, it's a far cry from silent. That thing is going to make some noise with 5 fans.
The radiator, for anyone interested, is a modified Derale copper transmission cooler (the aluminum turbulators were removed at the factory). It's big enough to fite all 4 fans directly to the front of the radiator, though I have them mounted several inches away in the box.
