So I figure your Pressy will handicap you another couple degrees.

Ah yes, I feared as much. Still, I have the brisk air of Milwaukee Wisconsin on my side! I am in a dorm room and stay in a 90 year old building with no system of cooling (or air movement for that matter), so we leave the windows open all the time (summer or winter).
This is actually interesting though, a friend on another forum told me that a dual 120mm radiator was overkill for my system, claiming that I wouldn't raise my water more than a few degree C. He said even a single 80mm rad would be more than enough to cool my system. Eh.....I'd rather play it safe with a dual 120mm radiator, thankyou much.
Anyhow, thanks guys for the replies, Ill be sure to post pics after I scounge the money (and search for a used radiator, pump, and block).
