Chillers
I'm doing some reading on chillers - seems like they produce a lot of heat. Is this something that can not be placed inside a stand. It sounds like there would not be enough ventilation?

Yes they produce a large amount of heat, chillers are not designed for confined spaces. Placing the chiller on the side of the stand or behind the tank if there is room would be a better choice. TinMan

I am thinking of getting a chiller as well. My buddy has his next to his stand. It warms up the room quite a bit. I am thinking of maybe running insulated pipe through the wall and putting the chiller in a doghouse or someting like that to protect it from the elements.
