Anybody tried stripping a dslr to fit in cooling?

Hi there astromaniacs! In my case I'm thinking off stripping in my old nikon d80. Has anybody succesfully dissasembled a dslr and redesigned for astrophotography including a cooling system? That includes removing the ccd from the board and putting it back together with a cooler (I was thinking of some sort of liquid cooler) I have read many people on the forum using cooling boxes for dslrs with peltier coolers, but that's not what I had in mind.

Have a scan through the DIY section. There are several threads on camera cooling including a couple of very extensive ones covering GIna's work on peltier-cooling her 1100D.

In fact, here's a few to get you started:
