I've got a small 3x5x2 pc power supply that I got from Marlin Jones for a
few bucks.  It has large sinks on the regulators.  These stand tall enough
and are folded 90 degrees so that they could be gooped up and secured to a
big vertical sink with fins.

How do the laptops get away with it or is the power output so low they
don't need much cooling?  How much power do you need for this project?
