Default PA 120.3 on back order, wait or switch it out?

I ordered a Thermochill PA 120.3 almost 2 weeks ago and its on back order still with no ETA. Same time I ordered the shroud for it as well. My Q6600 is in deperate need to be watercooled.

What other radiator fits the PA 120.3 shroud (if any)?
Should I pick a different radiator and hope the shroud fits?
Just return the shroud and pick a different radiator?
Or just wait it out and suck it up and pick up a cheap air cooler?

I'm sure that NCIX had a run on PA120.3s due to that fantastic price they offered. They've even pulled if from the website. I got mine ($88) shipped the next day after order and have it downstairs now waiting for cleaning.

If that's where your backorder is, then I guess you have to make the choice of wating for several weeks to get it for $88, ordering from somewhere else (in stock) at the usual price, or going with something different.

Not sure if anyone else can make that decision for you.

There is a guy here that got a PA shroud to work on his rad, he had to do a lot of cutting and modding to get it right...I have the link somewhere and cant find it...

If you have a spot welder it would be easy to cut it down to size, or even pop rivets and a little Bondo would work....
