Get a big enough heater core and mount it perpendicular to the case and you can cool anything passively. Rising hot air should cool them if you have enough surface area. Coolant wouldn't need to be too much warmer. I'm too lazy to do the math, but with a a Cu or Al rad, a delta T of 8-10C should be plenty if you have a good deal of surface area. Get two and your comp will look like a plane

You could try peltiers to get a higher temp in your coolant, but you would almost have to go with stacking them to get the desired effect.
Heh maybe you should think that though. More heat != Easier to cool.
