I do have plans for this being incorporated into a piece of furniture. I'm designing a computer that won't even be recognized as a computer and I don't want a piece of furniture humming or blowing air. This is not a practical project, it's just supposed to be fun.

I think my idea of a heat scource in a chimney above your Rad would work very well here:
Hot air rises. It cannot leave a vacume below it. So it will certainly draw cool air through a Rad.
I was thinking a big PELT with the hot side attached to a Zalmann HS and the cold to a WB. in a chimney above your Rad.
I know this does almost nothing for cooling the water but that is secondary to getting air moving through the Rad in this case.
flow = CPU - Pump - Rad - WB/Pelt - CPU

Yes. Koolance systems work like this:
1 pump sucking & 1 pushing. In a Common Res. This gives better head. Not flow.
It also gives you redundency in that if 1 pump dies you dont have a melt down.
