From the thread on CoolHardware it seems the pictured (fantastic looking) rig is running a duron which won't be kicking out so much heat as my XP1900. This means the airflow cooling the psu is not so warm.
I'm thinking, how about reversing the psu airflow? Instead of pulling heated air through the rad into the psu, why not bring cool air into the psu first and exhaust it (upwards to blowhole in top of case) through the rad? Will the air be cooler having cooled the psu than other way about? Hmmm...
