Well, your options are a little different than Bigben2k mentioned. Sticking a PC in the freezer, in my book, is air cooling. Putting your resivoi/radiator in a freezer isn't extreme enough to be worth it, in my opinion (again). Now, you could run the evaporator coils in a insulated tub, and use that for your resivoir, but generally you will need to make a new evapotator, find that a better condensor design is necessary, and you need access to a refrigerant.

Now, you mentioned running the refigerant through a waterblock type thing. This is the method used by Vapochill and other "clamshell" type setups you see. This is very hard, I'm am not even sure of the exact setup, and the fact then of getting it to run efficiently is a huge task.

I suggest the water chilling method I described, if possible.
