In one of the threads someone pointed out this possibility sometime back. The CPU heatsink with a fan was suggested to do the job nicely.

IMO, PC coolers are definitely option, especially that their cooling efficiency has been under high scrutiny and there's alot of data available.
Also, note that Panasonic has developed special fan for home audio cooling, that has received highest marks in silent PC computing - Panaflo. It is rated as about most silent fan on earth.
Then again, you'd need more mechanical work on them to fit your needs.

Hello,
I have done measurements on PC-Heatsink's some times ago. The result was realy impressive. A cheap normal Cooler for Athlon XP has an Thermal Resistance of no more than 0.2 W/K ( Fan aplied and running ).
If you want to use PC-Coolers I wouldn'd use them without fan, they are designt to work ideal with an Fan. Without it , the performance is bad - compared to "Audio-Heatsink"
