Exclamation Chiller cooling

I know this is probably already been posted or something similar.

I was thinking the other day of using a chiller unit to cool the air more inside my case, my dad is in the Aquatic business so i can get myself a micro aquarium chiller that will chill down to about 18 degrees. Has anyone used something like this? I have a Cosmos S case, so my idea was to install a 320 radiator in the top of the case with the fans on the top of it blowning down and somehow connecting the micro chiller to the radiator or some other combination?. Does this make sense?

Or should I just find another way of cooling my system other than my 7 fans already...

well, chillers can be used, but can also be a pain, as their made, for a stable source of water. Where as in a water cooling loop you'll have a constant heat source, eventually causing the chiller to burn out. same reason you shouldn't put a radiator in your fridge/freezer, it'll kill the compressor. Thought about a TEC?
