Water cooling or heat pipes are the way to go!

Unless you're suggesting a different architecture, such as expelling the
heat to the outdoors, or some method other then the local indoor
environment?

I'm thinking of trying a low pressure boiling fluid with a pump for a
weak refrigeration effect at the heat sources.

The cooling loop goes to preheat the home hot water and then any
remaining heat is dumped inside or outside depending on climate.

Now... If someone already has this setup running...

Good fun,

There seems to be a lot of interest in doing this kind of stuff in order
to preheat hot water for the water tank or water heating. First time
I heard of it using a refrigerant, though. Usually I hear of H2O variations.

But there was a guy on my team that was pretty seriously attempting
to cool a PIII by having it run H2O to a tea "warming" plate. Seems he
would check his email & forums first thing in the A.M., and his house was
usually kept pretty cool, and his morning tea would go cold. He didn't want
to make a hot plate, but rather a "warming" plate.

Even made some drawings and pwr/temp calcs.

Not sure if anything ever came of it.
