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.
Why not an external gear PD pump? I've done some research and it seems that this the type best suited to watercooling (much simpler than the others) and to fitting in a drive bay. I don't know much about motors, though, but I think it could work.

Bill, on the issue of stuff that is tolerable in the "real world" and high end cooling, is Swiftech working on any thing with heatpipes?
