Linus Tech Tips did it with an aquarium cooler:

It looks like quite a straightforward setup actually. But a custom water cooling loop is almost surely a better solution.

Interesting idea!
Though it seems to me a normal PC water cooler would be cheaper nowadays :D
I watched their industrial fan experiment yesterday, that seems even easier... if you could put your PC in a separate room

I'm planning a new house and one of the ideas for the floor plan is precisely to have a small room just behind the study to put the noisy stuff and just have the peripherals in the living space. And once again LTT has done it by running all the PCs in the home from a single rack (even a single EPYC machine with virtualization) and routing fiber over the house to where the peripherals need to be:
There were a few of these DIY projects last time I checked, and they worked well. Downsides: big cooling unit right next to you, loud af unless you mod the fan, as well :D
