The laptop is a 850 MHz Itronix IX-250, which is a predecessor of the Panasonic Go-Book. I got the Itronix because they're $130 off of eBay, and they meet military specifications of 140 degree heat, vibration, water, shock and jar resistance. It also has an illuminated keyboard and touchscreen.
It connects to the Cooling Mist "Smart" controller with a serial cable. I'm using the software that came with Cooling Mist's controller, which is limited but constantly improving.

Back at Arizona State they had a couple hundred LabView-compatable National Instruments DSP boards floating around... I was definitely tempted to sneak one or two into my backpack, but I'm sure they wouldn't have been too happy if they caught me walking away with $400 DSP's. The Cooling Mist controller only costs $200.
I'm going to get a pressure sender out of this set-up to make sure that it's working... I'd imagine that it's dropping below the advertised 150 PSI at 40 GPH of flow, against ~30-40 PSI of boost pressure. I can see the same wiring system controlling two or three nitrous solenoids in the near future.
I got that hydraulic pump too, that I wouldn't mind converting over to water...
