where the air is being blown into the fins to draw heat out quickly.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about there.

That's what I want to do only using CPU fans, but I don't want them
protruding from the bottom.

Unfortunately with heatsinks and adding fans, you can't have your cake and
eat it too if the manufacturer of the heatsink didn't cast it with
installing a fan in mind. The best you can do is get a fan whose frame is
as close to the size of the heatsink's footprint as possible and screw it
into the fins.

That's why I thought about insetting then into
the heatsink. I think I may be able to mount them with the CPU heatsink
directly to the pills, but I would need to do some measuring to make sure
I can mount them without shorting anything out.

Don't jury rig your cooling, do it right. You're probably going to have
to
custom-order the heatsinks to be the right size for your application.

Actually it is an EB63 that I built and the heat sink I used is massive.
Looks like the one Texas Star uses on their 667. I have been considering
cutting it in half, that's why I was considering the cooling fans. I think
I'll just let it be for now as I have other projects on the burner.
