It's a piece of plastic (in this case) that channels all the air going through the fans to go through the heater core. That way no air escapes and it lost. It's been proven to lower temps.

It also elimates the dead spot in the middle of the fan by spacing the fan away from the core

weapon over @ ocforums.com in the cooling classifieds (need 100 posts to access) sells custom CNC machined & bent shrouds for dual heatercores incase any of you want something a little bit less-ghetto than this

but props to the ghetto engineering - thumbs up to dremels and duct tape... and on this occasion, off-brand rubbermaid tubs as well

hmmm, just my humble opinion.

whaattt!!! no duct tape. imposable

I bet you could use plexiglass as well. I built a cover for my 17 in sony as well my 52 tv so my 3 year old couldn't touch the screen. It has saved me alot of money. She put nail polish all over the plexiglass TV screen and I as able to clean it off. I guess the only down side would be cost, bit it would look cool and there would be no duck tape.........
