A "cold plate" of chilled water cooled metal in direct contact with the wafer.

  If I were to build a box out of these, I'd do immersion cooling and place the chip(s) across the front of the machine behind laminated glass. Keeping the fluid cool would be left to the ugly parts nobody would ever see.

    Immersion cooling might not work since it depends on convection flow to move the heated liquid away from the plate. With a cold plate, pumps and pressure can be used to move the chilled water so that water in contact with the plate is always cool and heat is extracted and moved to the chiller more rapidly.

      You could circulate the fluid. Since it'd be boiling, temperature would remain constant near the surfaces and bubbles would immediately displace hot fluid. A condenser and heat exchanger would recycle the vapor back into the tank.
