See, you say that, and I immediately think a small flat box, much like a half height disk-drive.
Got two barbs at the back, a molex connector. Using a turbine style impeller mechanism as this best suits the low-flat model, with a mag-drive using modified hard-disk drive motor technology spinning a magnetic armature, with the impeller sealed and effectively surrounding the motor magnet armature (ie. like the Davies-Craig EBP does it, which is like the MCP600 but reversed). Or alternately, a drive mechanism similar to the Laing D4, except with a turbine impeller instead of a centrifugal impeller attached.
Would make for an excellent high-pressure, low-power, and efficient pumping mechanism. Something that would sell like hot-cakes in the water-cooling market if enough economy of scale were brought to bear on the problem.
Could even make the whole thing serviceable, with an O-ring seal lid allowing access to the impeller assembly.
