OK. So i bought this mini fridge. 4.3 cubic feet. I set it down next to my comp to keep my beer and other drinks in. So i'm getting a beer out and stand back up and I'm looking at my heatercore that sits on top of the fridge along with my res and pump. Then the idea hits me. Why don't I set the pump/res/heater core inside the fridge and cool it that way.

Heres my question.

If i'm chilling my water down its going to give me lower temps. Thats a given. Though I'm worried about condensation. What if the water temps get to cold and starts the cycle. I don't want to insulate my board. The fridge stays at about 2C-4C. Granted I can raise it to 10c-12. Is it going to produce the same problem though?

BTW thanks to all who recommended diffrent water blocks for my last question I had. Still havn't decided yet though which block I should get.
