looking for a kind of radiator (specifics provided)

Hello, I could use some help looking for a radiator. The radiator needs to have certain features.

1) Not the Alphacool ST30 X-flow (I found this as a fair example, but am looking for other models to compare it to and choose from a broader selection.)

2) 280mm (2x 140mm fans)

3) X-flow or X-flow enabled radiator

4) ports for fittings on the bottom-right and top-left of the radiator (more ports in other locations is fine)

5) black

6) Less than or equal to 30mm rad thickness. (slightly thicker is fine)

Something like this would suit all those needs:

^ Yeah the port arrangement on the hardware labs radiators is different from what I'm looking for. If there are any more brand alternatives I would appreciate the input.

What kind of arrangement are you looking for exactly as that is the layout of most cross flow radiators.

you can always drill the end tanks and solder you own fittings to it) it is possible but not very practical

Yeah I was thinking about that, but I don't want to risk damaging the rad. I'll use the alphacool model if it's the only one of its kind

The Hardware labs and both Alphacool one would fit that description, give a diagram of what you are looking for exactly.  Did you want ports on the edge of the tanks and not the front face of the rad. 

 

Ports on edges/ends:

The front face, to be specific. Like the latter two photos in your post, but reversed.

Ok so ports on the other side of the rad or either dual ports like on the Alphacool unit. Hmm surprisingly not many options for 280mm x flow variant with dual or revered ports from looking around, there are lots of 240mm however.
