just use a plug from your psu if you can get it up there.
If not, it might be easier to pick up like a 75watt psu for cheap and put it up there.

I would just use a small power supply to run 12v inside your external box.

That's a good kit... I see this one on ebay all the time, seems like a good deal to me. It even comes with your power recepticle and AC cord. Perfect for what you are trying to do.

I would wire 12V from the PSU to some type of interface(RCA plug) in the back of my case - same thing for the external cooling box. That way it easy to connect/disconnected. Also, you could use a fan controller from within your pc to control the external watercooling box's fan.
Adding a mini power supply sounds like alot of fuss if you dont have one kicking around.
