Steve, you need to set up the DIY chiller using a window A/C unit. It is in the
DIY forum on RC, and it'll run you about $500 altogether.

I know that is a lot of money, but this will last you MUCH longer than a chiller
we normally buy. Plus the A/C unit is outside and you won't have any noise or
heat issues from a unit in your home.

Let me know if you can't find the thread.

It's getting to be the time of year when I start wondering if I'm going
to actually buy a chiller. We just had our first heat wave & the tank got to
85 degrees.
Being the cheap ******* that I am I was looking at DIY plans & found
things like the small fridge mod, the old window a/c mod, & even the
dehumidifier mod. Do any of those work (reliably)?
Also, with my price range I think I'm looking a used chiller. Is that a
reasonable choice? Or should I just buy a brand new one? What do I need to
look for when buying a used chiller?
TIA, Steve
