Default Building your own passive system

I would like to start this thread to see who is interested, who has tried it, who has succeded, and who has failed. I am currently tossing around the idea of bulding my own fanless( or at least a nearly fanless/noiseless) cooling system for my machine. I will be using an Antec Aria case. these are nice cases, but tend to be very hot. im moving up to the AMD 64, and the chaintech geforce fx, so internal temps are going to be high. I have a small airport (by the sound of it) operating in my room now and i want quiet.....i dont want to hear anything. i really like the resorator 1, but the price is, well its high. in my somewhat uneducated opinion, there has to be a better way to make a cooing tower with more surface area, better flow, better heat dispersion, and all at a cheaper price. The guidelines for my design will be similar to the resorator i.e.- submerged pump- large res.- simple, yet large surface area for heat dispertion. i would like to improve the resorator idea by including more flow and a better/more efficient way to get the heat transfered to the air. im not opposed to using a low speed silent fan(s), bt i would like to avoid it. well, fire away. im sure some of you are going to crucify me, but im sure someone is interested.
