Some third party could produce a larger inlet upper housing for these pumps on a limited production basis on a CnC machine, but would there be enough economy of scale to keep the price under the cost of the whole pump? Would enough people pay 125-150 USD for this pump with a modified housing to justify the work?

It's G1/4 threaded (1/4" BSPP). Can't see why someone couln't make one in a larger thread if required, but fwiw this is the same size thread as on the CSP pumps.

Oh and it's made by http://www.watercool.de, Alphacool are just reselling in this case.
