doesnt seem to hard, you could have like double sided barbs on both the case and the external housing, leading to the case. something like this :

[OT] That "CASE!!!" label made my whole week. [/OT]
You could try to get some sheet metal, and a hinged side. Then you make arrangements for your parts, drill holes and make mounts etc. Then you put everything in the holes, and leave a filling, an in, and an out barb. then make accommodations in the case, and then close the water-cooling case, your case, and hook everything up.

that case is soo awesome, it needed the 3 exclamation points. ive been thinking of doing this thing myself. how do you think the heat buildup in the cube would be? i have a cheap 350w psu i can use for fans and stuff. this is gonna be a fun project. im thinking the same color blue as my case. ill post my results if and when i do it. im excited for this, i just need to find some of these barbs and whatnot.

I would say to get a 2x 120mm rad (if you could get 4x 120mm if thats possible, 2 on each side of the rad, push>pull), have it mounted in the top of the enclosure, than the res next to that rad, the pump on the bottom left corner of the enclosure, then whatever else is needed on the bottom right, and then a sideways airflow pattern (one in the center of each side of the enclosure, either intake-->exaust, or exaust<-->exaust)

I like Home Depot, and it had to be super LAN portable. It's still super ugly, but it works amazingly well.
It's just aluminum L-channel, and basic macheine nut n bolts, will be redone soon, just threw that together for a major lan event.
