maxSaleen: where can one order such heatpipes? do you know? Also, how many heatpipes do you think is needed? Also, how long can heatpipes get?

My idea was originally to have 3 heatpipes attach to a copper block which attaches to the large heatsink, and then that copper block was two or three more heatpipes coming out of it to attach to the other end of the large heatsink.

I think the heatsink you mentioned is too small. Even a Coolermaster Hyper6 is too small, since I've tried to use it to cool a Venice passive(but no peltier), and temps shot way up and crashed. Also, they are expensive. Better would be a 12" x 16" inch aluminum heatsink on ebay for $5-$30. You can attach the large heatsink plate onto the side of your computer, and I'm sure it can be designed for easy maintenence.
