That looks like an interesting concept but one thing to note is aquarium chillers are usually for cooling water at room temp down a bit when needed but not for a high heat loads like a CPU and GPU. It's a similar concept of putting a PC inside of a mini fridge the fridge (negating condensation) it will most likely die since it's not designed for a heat generating load inside of it.

getting the right unit for the correct thermal dissipation can be useful, but the

insistent noise of the water chiller far exceeds that of useful. another item to

ponder is the constant monitoring that will need to be done or steps taken to

prevent condensation accumulation on the electronic hardware. like a phase

change system, below ambient cooling leads to condensation.

 

if you are still looking into one, then the 1/10hp or higher will be more to the

needs of thermal control. although that spec show 10°-40° range, remember

they are dealing at ambient, as your PC temps will be substantially higher and

that capacity is too weak to stay up with your thermal needs.
