Well, my pc is back up and running.
Had to fetch my sister-in-law from hospital, more delay, I thought I was never going to get this thing finished.
Anyway, it's been running flat out for about 25 minutes now, temp has stabilised at 27C cpu/17C mobo. I'm guessing ambient temp is about 20C (up slightly on normal) The mobo temp is down about 8C, the cpu temp is down about 22C, and that's with the cover now on compared with off before. And the chiller is on setting 5 out of 7, it could go even colder.
Roll on summer, I'm ready for you now. :D
As for noise, the chiller gives a few seconds of rumbling every couple of minutes, and the only noise I can hear from the pump is an occasional hiss as a small air bubble passes through. Hopefully they should be out of the system pretty soon. The noisiest thing now is the case fan, which I can mod to run on 7v now, or possibly remove altogether.
Pics tomorrow, then I can put some insulation on the pipes which may bring the temp down a degree or two.

update: I've disconnected all my case fans, just the psu fan left, and that's cut from 2860 rpm to 2100. I'll probably need one on the hdd, but I'll worry about that later. Mobo temp has risen to 25C (i don't think it is accurate below about 24C anyway), cpu temp to 31C, but it is damn near SILENT.
ooh hopefully you have a really silent hard drive right? if so that would be sweet, probably be a silent computer.
