hmmm.
i have the "finished product" pictures, not the "making of" :

Use Volenti's text to understand what was done.

... or, go ghetto. Ok more ghetto than usual.

nice heatsinks on the iwaki :cool: ... any idea what the white material is? (between them and the pump.. seem to be held on with zip-ties so presumably not adhesive...)

probably a heavy dose of thermal paste.

Ok, Ive been toying with the idea of puting say a heater core into one of those 12pack sized Ice Coolers. Just drill thru the cooler, put your IO hoses thru with some Silicone Adhesive. Then just put half a dozen trays of Ice in there along with some water to make sure all that cold gets into the fin area of the radiator and Voila!! Super Cooling and all you have to do is drop some water and Ice in once a day. To be serious there would be alot more details to make it work well and you would have to put the Ice in like brushing your teeth every day, but hey, I love my computer.
Anyway, these are great, thoughtful, examples of innovation. I enjoyed the read.
