Silicone is not thermally conductive at all -- they sell silicone oven mitts. You can plunge your hand in boiling water and not feel a thing.
Thermal pads are made of something altogether different, but you have to understand that most of them are basically pads of mushy goo that leaves residue. Not useful for what you're suggesting.

A 'silicone pad' is a polymerized silicone embedded with a powderized phononic conductor such as alumina. These are NOT the same kinds of pads that Tooki is talking about.
A silicone pad may be tacky, but it isn't mushy. If the tack bothers you, cover the pad with Saran Wrap.

so their a little sticky? ok. i might continue with my idea of water-cooling a stand just for the heck of it, right after i build my steady-cam which is more important.
thanks for all your help guys.

Placing your PowerBook directly onto a thin elastic membrane underneath of which there is water flowing sounds like an all-around bad idea to me. If you use a metal membrane instead, then you will still need a gap filling material to establish good thermal contact between the PowerBook and the membrane.
