An old 3dmark benching photo
Looking through my old images on the PC tonight I found one from the good old days when I used to use a Peltier cooler powered by a DC scientific power supply and some water glycol mixture pumped through the card held by a huge g clamp.
http://www.aocb77.dsl.pipex.com/water1.jpg
Eventually my wife complained that I spilt the odd drop of coolant on the carpet and the study was starting to smell of glycol, so I got banned forever from the house and bannished into the shed. Wives are so picky, they will take you up on anything they do not agree with just to stop your hobby.
Regards
Andy

Did each case in the photo contain a complete system?

The good old overclocking days ay?  . I like the milk bottles in the res/coolbox too, I guess there in there to give the liquid a greater surface area and better cooling?   .
Do you still have all those coolermaster atc's kicking about? If so and you want rid of one  . I wish I didn't sell mine now simply great cases.

They have been adapted with hacksaw to provide a solid base that does not flex for my motherboards and that also allows airflow on the underside of the motherboard.

For air cooling that is a far better solution than putting your motherboard on a box or foam that flexes and also stops airflow beneath the cpu.

Sorry, in my book nothing is valid unless its in a case, and hence, a "normal" environment, by all means go nuts on cooling not a problem, but an open top setup with an OC ppl claim to be stable when in all reality inside a PC it probably won't be? Thats just unacceptable to me.

Too much tubing is another way of saying you just need a much bigger pump just to make sure

Ok, I see you've adapted the TRAY, but do you still have the CASES? I need one or two for a project I've been trying to start for the last couple of years I already have two, but would love another couple. LMK

Well, as I am quite new with this kind of cooling so my pics are not that old. But I would like to share som photos from one of my 3DMark disasters.
I was using alchohol chilled with dryice to cool my 7950GX2. After a while the achohol became black.
The pump could not handle the achohol
My hand after removing the pump:

All this reminds me my adventures in OC world! Due to lack of equipment and cash back in Poland I was forced to design and make own water blocks and Peltier coolers . Custom made 450W Toroid DC supplied power to 3 Peltier which cooled water in reservoir (to around 5C). All this stuff was spread on 2 desks in my workshop . I wish I had camera in that time... At least my water block remain and I plan to use it when I upgrade to something serious

Hollywood, I tell you what, we both have great tastes in cases and we share other great tastes as well I can tell from looking at your picture.
That's a nice setup you had there back in the old days
