I have been told that the DangerDen D5 is the best but i can't find one anywhere that will ship to canada.. as far as the rad goes (i read that double heater cores are the way to go). Anyone have any recommendations as to what i should us... I would love to set it up in my future case (thermaltake Shark) thanks...
 
vapochill has a new pump but i dunno how good it is but id suggest a 655 and for the rad id change the barbs on a 77 bonneville not only is it said to work better then the BIX2 (the competeing pre-modded rad) because of its thicker fins but it'll onlyu cost you 20$

just make sure once your picking it up its copper and not bronze. the copper will cool better and leak less.
 
I highly recommend the PA160 Rad

These are not the pumps you requested but my husband really likes all their products.

I have them in my pc and I never go above 45C




The PolarFLO TT Pump is the latest in pc water cooling technology with great performance and the most durable high quality construction. The new design is fully comprehensive and future proof. The beauty, features, and performance that you expect from the TT Series are captured in this pump design . The PolarFLO TT Series pump is a simple two part design. Servicing a PolarFLO TT pump or changing the pump motor and rotor could not be easier. The mounting plate can be oriented in many different positions for plenty of mounting options. All the components are available individually and if you already own one of the many varieties of Laing, Inc. D4 pumps, you can easily retrofit your pump with the PolarFLO TT Series Pump Retrofit Kit. The PolarFLO TT pump uses the PolarFLO TT Series Posi-Seal Barbs. These Posi-Seal barbs are easy to interchange. You can change from a 3/8" ID hose to a 1/2" ID anytime. The compact design will fit into the smallest cases and you get the quality and longevity of the Laing, Inc. D4 motor.


 
The D5 is probably your best bet for power and ease of use. I hope you can find a Canada shipper. If they're as good as a D4 you'll be getting a great pump.

As far as a rad or a core it's a bit more complex. It mostly depends on how much you want to spend, and since rads have dropped in price even that isn't as much of an issue as it used to be. Anyone who says that one is better than the other is simply offering their choice as a binding fact. I've yet to see a direct, quantifiable comparison between rads and cores. The truth is that even a 3-source loop isn't going to challenge the dissipation potential of a 2x120 rad or core.

If you don't mind dinking around a bit and want to save a few $, get a core. If you want something that looks nice and clean, and that you can slap right in, get a rad.
