Ok I've taken a quote from the link about it.

Even water coolers use big heat exchangers and fans. And can only cool to room temperature about 30 degrees in here. Peltiers take LOTS of power, and cool too much when NOT under load... Causing condensation problems.
My solution is to use the garden.
Once you get 2 to 3 feet down the temperature (according to the Grimsby water board) is permanently between 9 and 11 degrees C all year round regardless of the weather/season etc
So I have built an underground heat exchanger.
Initially I used an underground copper pipe, but this tuned out to be too small, and the water in the system warmed up after a few hours under heavy load. So I decided overkill would be better!
It is an aluminium alloy oxygen bottle, about 4 feet high, and ten inches diameter.
My water can go in the top at high temperature but still comes back out at 10 or 11 degrees C! Tried it with a hot tap.........

The copper pipe might work but you'd need lot of it, the tank solution allows separation of hot and cold coolant (if the hot enters at the top and the cold is taken from the bottom.)
The main goal is silence, with reliabilty, near zero maintaience, cool stable temps. I also want no fans in the water-cooling sys or PC. here's the GF3 cooling build. Testing the mobo chipset block atm with air at 2bar, (28psi), before installing, then there are only two fans left in the PC and they are both in the PSU.
