    If the system is closed loop, then without a reasonably large tank you will certainly need a radiator of some sort. The easiest option is just to use the parts people use for computer water cooling systems, but the parts for that market tend to be overpriced so unless you can get lucky on eBay I'd substitute them for cheaper options, e.g. the pump you found and a car radiator with a fan for the heat exchanger. I don't think you'll get away without a fan unless you have an unreasonably large heatsink.

    It's been done before:

    That system looks nice and light.
