Very cool concept, but looks extremely difficult to manufacture. I estimate it won't cost less than $500.

It might just work too, but thermal resistance isn't going to be good... even if the CPU exchanger is efficient, the interface between the heatpipes and the case side has to be perfect.

I had once thought of using the same concept, but with real (water)cooling. Think of the same case, but with channels bored out in the heatsink base. Then connect the channels with tubing, hook up a pump and wb, and enjoy fanless cooling and good performance.
