Suggest a shroud

At least I think they're called shrouds.

I'm looking to move my radiator outside my case, and I need one of the extensions to give it some space. Could I get some recommendations? The only one I've been able to find is the radbox...

I went to Lowes and bought some L shaped brackets. Eight 5 inch, and eight small 1 inch attached together with 5/16in machine screw and a locking washer. I cut the rest of the bolt off and then sanded it. I also had to cut the 5 inch bracket, so it wasn't sticking in too much. I used 1/2in machine screws and locking washers to keep the brackets on the side of the case. I spray painted the brackets with High Gloss spray paint. Unfortunately, the rads got a lil scratched on the sides, but its nothing that a little touch up can't fix.

For the molex connectors on the fans I cut an oval just a little bit bigger then the connector, into the side panel. I put some electrical tape around the edges because it was a little rough.

So, that's what I did for my two triple rad's. Here's some pics.





I need to take some better pics, these don't do it justice
