Obviously not the easiest thing to do, but it would be a fun project.
The idea has been on here before, but I thought of a good way to do it.
Take a cooler and put a drain hole near the top of it. Fill it with water to the drain hole. Then put a hole in the lid, and fix an ice maker to it. Have a pressure switch just above the drain hole to stop the production of ice.
Put two more holes in the top of the ice cooler. Run cooling lines from your PC water cooling system into the cooler.
Option 1 (safer and mx free):
The cooling lines from your PC go to a aluminum or copper heat exchanger with fins on it to help dissipation of heat. Safer because no filter is required that could be clogged with ice, and maintenance free because drainage and the pressure switch should keep ice/water full.
Option 2:
Simply run those cooling lines into the tank and through a filter on the opposite side leaving the tank.
Additionally, running a second system with lines to/from the case/cooler and a radiator/fans inside the case, with the case mostly sealed could provide near freezing temps for all other internal components.
Illustration soon.
