mm, its a hard ask really.

For me, the ideal set up would be one that included everything, including a small seperate compartment case - so, you'd have the watercooling built in (ala koolance or similar, but done better), a case which is as small as possible whilst still retaining enough functionality to move parts etc, in as small a footprint as possible. Think slightly bigger (but flatter) than a shuttle, and near silent; almost a desktop/shuttle hybrid. Include decent quiet fans, heatsinks for passive nb cooling and the likes, perhaps ram sinks etc. Folding CD bays, sliding HDD racks, for a complete, simple disassembly. Electronics control water temperature and the likes via pump and fan voltage adjustment.

Its all a pipe dream, really, but it could be done i think.
