i was thinking about something kinda like this.
why not grab an old fridge or deep freeze, and refit its cooling parts on the mini fridge.
then, get as big a bucket or tub that would fit in the mini fridge, fill it with water, and submerse the radiator. that way you'd have the water as a sort of buffer (and i'd think it'd cool the radiator a tad better), and the higher power of the larger cooling unit. with the water as a buffer, the larger unit probably wouldn't have to cycle quite as much, and with its more efficient heat removal, the cycles would be shorter.
something to think about, although probably kindof silly and quite elaborate.
