Interested myself 'cause I have a spare 240V submersible magnetic drive fountain pump here.
You really only need the copper cooling block (that doesnt leak) and some 3/8" hose. Its optional to sit this atop a peltier. That is, the Peltier sits between the CPU and the Copper Block.
The fan then sitting on the copper Block.
Unfortunately reading the latest from anandtech on the power dissipation of the present and new 1.33GHz athlons and knowing that Peltiers are only 50% efficient, thats a wopping 100W+ to dissipate....again as usual, peltiers become far too expensive to run on a yearly cost basis at upwards of $100pa to run fulltime and are hence rendered to the "tinkerer junky" box.
I was just going to make mine a closed circuit with a 15ft coiled length of 3/8" hose hanging from the ceiling. The hot end at the top....
Sorry I rave!!....gunna...gunna...gunna....
