This obviously is to big to fit in the Cube, but the use of a heat pipe  
has made me wonder if a heat pipe could be used to transfert the heat  
from the graphics card to the processor heat sink in the central  
chimney.

I'm not sure if the processor heat sink could handle the extra heat  
(maybe with a bottom fan), and the heat pipe will have to be designed  
specifically for the Cube (if there is a possible path from the  
graphics card to the central heat sink), but this could be some sort of  
ultimate hack for the Cube! :-)
