I'm looking for a water block, that's under 20mm high, for a water cooling project. Been looking for days, and haven't been able to come up with much, other then the GPU-180 from Koolance that is impossible to find since its discontinued. I would love you use say, the Heatkiller v3 if it was possible to tap into the sides, instead of plumbing through the top of it.
If anyone can help me find one, that would be great! Its really the only thing holding me back from doing a fully internal water cooling loop on my m17x.

you may need to get one custom machined or modified for your needs

There used to be a few different companies that made some, mostly for GPU's I think. Suprised I cant find anything now? A GPU water block should work just as well, except I just cant find anything that resembles the Koolance GPU-180.

If you want an entire Waterloop with the pump, heatsinks, and blocks check out the ThermalTake Tidewater...
I remember someone made one with that kit if you can find one, mount it to the back of the LCD lid and modify a USB port to a 4 pin molex. Presto.
The waterblock for that thing is like 15mm, super slim. -

Im currently testing a cooler master seidon 120m water cooling kit on my sager np8662, the setup is bulky and definitely external, but can be portable. The copper gpu block arrived last week and it's temporarily installed already, it's under 10mm thick but i am still struggling to determine a proper mounting bracket for it, but it works already even with mild pressure. I just mounted it above the copper heat sink to supplement my air cooling.

First batch of photos.
The copper block is still rough, i'm thinking of sanding it later on to get better heat transfer. I'm still using a cheap thermal compound that doesn't dry up, i need that so i can easily remove the water block when i have to be mobile. switching to IC diamond later on. If you'll notice, i just used the seidon heatsink/pump solely as a pump and attached one of the included mounting brackets to it so it has a metal base. the radiator is configured in such a way that the lower outlet feeds directly to the pump and the return pipe is above so it also acts like a reservoir keeping the air bubbles away from the pump. The seidon may be in the lower class of coolers but it's designed for a 100 watt cpu, the QX chip is only 44 watts so it works well enough. I have a more powerful 5 amp power supply (not shown) for desktop use, the small power brick you see is good for only 2.5 amps but if i disconnect one fan ( the pull side) the current can be good enough for portable water cooling.
