I have toyed around with the idea of a "Bong" style cooler, but the fact that it permits foreign debris from the air into the loop has kept me from opening my wallet to buy the parts. What I have decided to do instead, is use the same evaporative cooling principal and apply it to the fins of a radiator. The hold up at the moment is radiator selection. I need to know what type of radiator will not rust/erode with water on the fins. I imagine that something like tin would make for horrible rust issues, but something like a 100% copper would not rust, but may oxidize. Is stainless steel an option? Should I be looking at radiators designed for something other than computers?
Help: point me at a radiator that wont deteriorate with high moisture content on the outside of the rad!!!!!
