I was thinking.. better if I kept the pump.. maybe inside the frige and not in the freezing water?

Also I am running the system like this

Resevior > Water Block > north bridge > GPU > hard drives > SouthBridge? > If there is still cold left in the water.. to the radiator > back to resevior.

The reason I say to the radiator is because I am still dead set on the idea that with COLD water (40 to 50F) going through the pipes in the radiator.. If I put a fan on the radiator then (danger den super cube) and blow air through it.. cold air will come out the back of the radiator right?

The reason I want to do this is because if I am pumping cold air into the case.. and distributing it around the case.. it will drop the temps in the case. I will completely seal the case off from the outside accept for the PSU fan of course.

If I bring the temps down in the case.. from say 70F ambient to like 60F ambient or 50F ambient.. in the long run I am thinking it will take less power from the frige to cool the water because the cold water is entering a case that is already fairly cool .. not steaming hot.

The only thing I am worried about is condensation.. like inside of my PSU and stuff...
