I've been thinking about a silly way to get a radiator on the outside of the machine, without it looking obvious. I came up with what is perhaps the worst radiator ever in term of thermal dissipation: The water window. I'd use two thin (1/16")? acrylic sheets spaced at about 1/8 ", seal the sides, mount in & out ports at the top and bottom, respectively, and mount the monstrosity inside a window hole in the side of the case. hook up some neutral bouyancy colorful beads and you've got something interesting to look at as the water moves through. Then you'd expose the side of your "radiator" to the outside world as part of a case window, and you'd get a neat view of the moving water inside the window. Course, it might not dissipate heat well enough to run a computer w/o meltage, but it would look cool.
We like to call that a window res, lol. http://xoxide.com/angel-eye-water-window-reservoir-clear.html
lol you shouldnt as you genuinely invented this in your mind.not your fault it was thought of long ago.
Place it vertically and run some copper pins through it (sealed up of course) and you might have something that not only looks cool, it might actually...well... cool!
