You'd have to make something custom, but I think it would be much simpler than typical heat sinks. With air cooling, the vertical placement would be ideal, since convection will tend to suck cool air from the bottom and release it on the top. (I think the iMac does/did this). Even for water cooling, it would be simpler with far fewer turns in the pipe. Plus, I just like the idea of laying everything out flat instead of the weird 3-D origami that is modern PC design.
