Last night I was playing around with a water chiller base unit that came from a drinks machine.
The problems that came to light as I see it, was the condensation that occured on the pipes ( this was in my shed) even though the water only went down to 10C and the noise factor. These things will be working constantly if used on your water cooling system as opposed to how the're meant to work (cycling). This one one took about 3/4 of an hour to get down to 10C and switched itself off, but if you're cooling your PC then the damn thing will never switch off and you'll also have the battle against condensation with a system that's still running over 0C. That's my take on the subject as I've seen it so far.
I won't be throwing it away yet, but it seems like a lot of hassle for relatively low gains.
Cheers
Chris.
