Instead of the regular rad type setup, you could think about what's called a "Bong Cooler" that is a type of rad setup that can cool the water to below ambient temps, sometimes called an evaporative cooler.

Bong coolers are great, and depending on location can really be effective. (Dry climates will work better than humid ones).

they are a bit more work though because you will be adding dust and stuff directly to teh water, so your loop and blocks will have to be cleaned more often, plus you will need to add water to it frequently.
they are also noisy-ish as well, although it would preclude the need for a whitenoise generator

Still for those used to LN2DIceing for benching, the maintenance will be pretty minor

I would really like to do one of them some day
