Chinese rads: anyone tried them?

I might have missed a huge thread about these rads but has anyone tried them?

I "was" going to buy a load of them, 10 sets, but people kept finding them cheaper and cheaper, in the end it would have been a no win exercise for me.

If enough people want them they can be bought at a very good price. The person I got in touch with was wanting around $???? for 10 sets shipped to one address, probably gaining the interest of customs!! I could still buy them at that price if needed. He manufactures them and sells direct to the people that sell them on Ebay.

I didn't want to end up with 10 sets of rads and people being able to get them cheaper elsewhere.

I would have been knocking mine out at £210 delivered (with fan mounts)

That's what I thought, I didn't get 10 people asking for a set though!!

Mine would have had the rad fan mounts aswell, unlike the others.

In the event that you get some interest, put my name down if they're £210 delivered with mounts.

I'd consider a set if I heard more feedback
