Well, at this point I'm not sure if this thread is even in the right place anymore. I would prefer not to insulate the RES, the reason I am thinking about implementing a chiller was basically to just help out the radiator dissipate the massive amount of heat being generated by all 4 CPUs. My current w/c setup has temps of around 40c, so even if I swap out the radiator for a lerger one more than likely it won't be able to handle the heat generated by 2 additional processors (especially Opterons), I have pretty much given up on the idea of going sub 0, now I'd be happy with just getting as close to ambient as possible.
Also, I was hoping that with such a large res (approx 2gal) the increased volume of water would help improve performance.
