I've been thinking of doing this myself for some time.
These PC heatsink/fans cost $10 or less and have a PC style
power connector (male/female) which you fit between another
male/female pair.  There is usually a sticky peel-off label
on the back so you could stick it directly to the ASIC.
Should keep it super cool.

Can anyone tell me if Dr. Buggie's PSU has these PC style
connectors on them?  They would be immensely useful for 
connecting certain items in a GS or a "Towerized GS".
