I got a single pass 24" transmission cooler from ebay for $50 shipped. I will have some problems with galvanic corrosion, as the block is Cu and the raditator is Al, but to minimize the effect, i used a mixture of WaterWetter & distilled water (1:32 by volume). The CPU temperature at no load (with Cool&Quiet engaged) is 32-35C and 45C (SETI@home for 24 hours), but, my apartment is cool at 18C. I will have to see how it works passively when the apartment is much warmer in the summer. So far I'm very happy with the preformance of the system, it is very quiet (the loudest parts are still the two fans). IMHO, not a bad attempt at watercooling for the first time....

Thats awesome man.
Was hoping you got the dual pass cooler and I could finally find out what the heck the internal design was =)
Using a setup like these, it gets to the point where the HD and the pump are the loudest parts. before I got my projector I started to get really anal. Trying to come up with large space taking ways to silence the two. Then I found the fan in my infocus was louder than my HD or pump =\
