How hot are you willing to let things get? Radiators become more efficient as the differential between coolant temp and air temp becomes greater. The numbers BI quotes (or at least used to quote - they may have taken 'em down out of embarrasment) are with probably a 20 to 30C differential and with a huge airflow (think 50+dB fan). Oh - and how loud are you willing to let things get?
If the answers are "yes" and "yes", then sure a BIP will work fine - but why bother with water cooling?

Hard to suggest which direction to go in as I don't know what you're looking to get out of water cooling - except that I would be very surprised if w/c ing a nb is worthwhile (just not that much heat generated there).
I'd also sugest you browse No competition, why only HWlabs
