[wplug] Portable Server Cooling

Hello Everyone,

I have been tasked with building a portable server system for one of
my clients.  The server will include dual CPUs, at least 2TB of disks,
and 4GB of RAM.  The server will be usually be operated in areas where
the ambient temperature is between 95 and 110 deg F and the humidity
swings with the weather.  The environment is dirty and potentially
wet, basically in a place not friendly to high-end server hardware.

I am thinking of using a SKB shock case to mount and transport the
server.  Such as:
http://www.skbcases.com/industrial/products/prod-detail.php?d=c3&id=127&s=p

However, the server must actually operate in the case which brings up
how to cool it whilst protecting it from the elements.

Anyone have experience with liquid cooling products designed for
rackmount cases, or even a turnkey solution?  It needs to be
professional, not gimmick junk at modder prices.

Thanks,
Dave
