There have been plenty of aquarium dudes who have done this (search google) and their general conclusion is its worth the $ to buy a prefab unit.
Dragon, now would be a good time to bring this out as well:

do you chillers have a pump that brings the water in/out to chill it or is it a pumpless model that has a probe that goes into the reservoir and the probe chills the water?

Seems as if there are several different types of chillers
