It would be kind of a pain to get a heat pipe from the power supply, RAM,
multiple video cards, southbridge, and CPU to a common external heatsink
without going to liquid cooling and all the problems you have with that.
There are just too many internal components these days that need cooled.
Even the heat from a spinning DVD/Burner drive or hard disk will heat up the
interior of a PC case over time and cause problems if not vented with forced
air.

Well, one idea
I am surprised I have not seen exploited in PCs, that I
have already seen in hifi, is large external passive heatsinks,
outside the case. I presume they're connected by heatpipes or
something.
Try pricing a big-ass hunk of extruded heatsink some day.
