Now just use a pump to pump the water back to the 5 gallon container, and you now have pressurised water in your case...

Or you could just hook your 1/2" line directly into your house's water lines, and connect the other end to the sewer line, so you could have cold water, slowly running through your case forever.

That 2nd idea doesn't sound like that bad of an idea, as long as you kept the valve mostly closed so you don't have a $2,000 water bill at the end of the month
2nd idea is one I've tossed around before, as my landlord pays the waterbill for the complex, and its a flat fee on my rent. It'd rule until he noticed the extra change

My idea involved a water-to-water intercooler. A copper pipe that has constantly flowing (low-flow) ice-cold city water through it would it in a my reservior serving to cool the water. I might try it for a few days this winter just to see what would happen... cept I'd have to condensation proof my setup as the water from my mains is usually 50 to 60 degrees.
