II hope that this is still a current thread. The chiller you are trying to use is an aquarium water chiller. It's BTU rating should be enough to keep your system cool. The frig how ever does not have the BTU necessary to come anywhere close to this. I'd just read an article where people have been trying to convert frigs to use as aquarium water chillers and the average frig only has about 100-200 BTU's of cooling power compared to 500-1000 BTU's in a small to mid range chiller. An entry level server kicks out about 500 BTU's total so I'd think that we're looking at about 400-700 BTU's on an average OC'd gaming system. Also I think if you read the specs on that chiller you'll find that it attempts to keep the water w/i 1.5 degrees F (do it for the fish man ...) So you might get a little sea-sawing in the beginning but I'd think that you'd end up with a set equilibrium after a short time (proportional to the BTU rating of the chiller of course)
p.s. I'm glad to see that others have been as twisted as I on unique/efficient ways of cooling.
