Actually I have been experimenting with heater cores in a passive cooled loop. I took 2 small heater cores and put them in the same loop and let the computer run without the fan on. It actually works ok. You can even setup a 120mm to come on at low voltage at a certain temp to cool it down and the fan will shut off. You have to keep them outside of the case though.
I was pondering getting a car radiator out of a small car and trying it aswell.
