I was thinking about this the other day. I have a radiator from my 93 Tercel just sitting around downstairs. Its about 24 inches by 36 inches. What about enclosing it in a wooden box and glass cover? Use the normal outlets out the back side of the box (sealed with silicon of course) and you have a descent solar collector for cheap.
