The following is the latest info/pricing on the cores and the shrouds. I currently have about a 10 day delay in shipping due to an order backlog but I am going to knock that down some in the immediate future. The pricing includes info for the cores, the shrouds and both as a matching set as well as a complete combo with fans.
Weapon 2-302 core
Overall Dimensions: ~12-3/8" x 5-5/8 x 2" with the tanks
Core Dimensions: ~10-3/4" x 5-5/8" x 2"
Dimensions with shroud & 38mm thick 120mm fans: ~12-3/8" (L)x 6” (w)(at the shroud mounting lip) x 5-3/8”(d)
Dimensions are approximate as there is slight variation in core sizes.
--Cleaned internally and externally
--Factory solder seams checked and tested
--Factory Fittings replaced with brass barbs [3/8”, ½” or 5/8” OD fittings] which are silver soldered in place. Silver soldering the fittings makes them basically non-removable (without a good deal of effort and a torch) but it also makes them 100% leak free. The solder that is used on the fittings is rated for 15,000 PSI on joints which is extreme overkill but it makes certain that they will not leak.
Note on fittings: If you are using Tygon or Clearflex, you can stretch the tubing over the next largest size barb with a little effort after wetting the inside of the tube and the outside of the fitting. This normally produces a little better flow through the core as the fitting will not be as restrictive. A ½” OD barbed fitting has an internal channel that is approximately 3/8” so it matches up with the ID of 3/8” tubing. On the other hand, it presents a restriction point if used with ½” ID tubing. A 5/8” OD barb has a ½” ID channel and works very well with ½” ID Clearflex or Tygon. My main system uses ½” ID tubing with 5/8” barbs on the core and it works very well. The 5/8” fittings are flow cannons.
--Stealth Black paint finish on the core – if desired, the fins can be left entirely unpainted or they can be lightly dusted with just enough color to make them appear painted. Dusting the fins just colors the edges of the fins with paint and so far as I can tell from testing has no adverse effect on cooling performance.
Weapon Shroud
--18 gauge steel
--CNC cut and bent
--Optimized fan cutouts for max flow with fans mounted in either push or pull configuration.
--Seam welded corners
--Welded in divider plate that makes the shroud dual chamber
--Mounting lip with 4 holes predrilled for 4-40 threaded rods
--Stealth Black powder coat finish
--Approximately 42mm of standoff between the face of the core and the fins
--Mounting hardware is not included at this time with shroud orders (sorry, still trying to work out a deal to supply the mounting hardware.)
Picture of usual mounting:

Note that clear acrylic was used to represent the case wall.
Required Mounting Hardware:
-- Four 4-40 threaded rods with two 4-40 nuts for each of the threaded rods. The length of the rods required depends on the number of shrouds on the core. With a single shroud, 3” rods will work, if there is a shroud on both sides of the core, 6” threaded rods are required.
--Fan mounting – 6-32 machine screws with nuts and washers. 1.75” machine screws will run through a fan grill, a 38mm thick fan and the shroud with some extra length to spare. A nut and washer are then added to the underside of the shroud to lock them in place.

Note that in the above image, the divider plate that splits the shroud into dual chambers was not installed.
--Custom Finished Blue Metallic Core and Shroud (custom finishes are +$10 over stealth black pricing – which covers the paint and the extra time involved):

Payment methods:
I accept payment via Paypal or money order.
Note on mounting hardware - we originally intended to include the mounting hardware with the shrouds but we realized that different mounting locations could require different hardware and it would be difficult to include all of the possible combinations of hardware at a reasonable price. Additionally, the mounting hardware is readily available and some might have the hardware already on hand so including the hardware would have unnecessarily increased the cost of the shroud. As such, we can provide mounting hardware with the shrouds at our cost but it is not included with the shrouds.
Weapon MonsterCores and Shrouds:
MonsterCores
--Weapon MonsterCore (unpainted) fittings changed to brass barbs, cleaned and tested - $95 + S&H
--Weapon MonsterCore, fittings modded, cleaned inside and out, metal prepped for paint, stealth black finish - $105 + S&H
--Weapon MonsterCombo – matched stealth black core and stealth black shroud, with mounting hardware for fans and shrouds. $150 + S&H
Note: All MonsterCores/Shrouds/Combo are subject to availability and may take 14 days when in stock before they can be shipped as they are modded and painted on a per order basis.

An utterly massive heat exchanger with support for four 120mm fans per side for maximum heat dissipation with low CFM fans – insane heat dissipation with high performance fans.
Available but no time to post full details at the moment:
Weapon 199 Core and Shroud – a bit shorter but also a bit wider than the 302 cores – dual 120mm fan mounting. Pricing will be the same as the 302 cores and shrouds with the same fittings options.
Weapon 342 Core and Shroud – a single pass core for lower restriction – great for systems with smaller pumps. Pricing will be the same as the 302 cores and shrouds with the same fittings options.
Upcoming projects:
Single 120 heatercore and shroud - pricing and product availability to be announced.
WFR1.1 -- so top secret at the moment that I don't even have a clue what is is...
