Does this bitcoin mining cooling system sound awesome? ?

what do you think of my idea design for cooling system for miners? I was doing a lot of thinking wanting build home AC systems, learning different ways to cool computers, I had this idea, what if, you made just as simple as this that no one yet has been ever trying before, you combined the rig in three cooling systems making one single system, AC work, there's evaporator coils, fan blows cold air from there out above it, main point is coils are very cold even though absorbing heat, blowing hot air out back, then instead fan sucking cold air up and back into the room, it's pointed down, the AC coolant still stays cool because the heat is also blown out the outside the condenser is always condensing the coolant gas, miner you've submersed in mineral oil, you need a pump, tubing, pump, it circulates oil back up back in AC running copper tubing passed evaporator back down while fan blows down, connect a vent from blown down, connect that directly up to miner, added fan and cool air, then also your miner is not in the miner case it's only the boards that are submersed and the rest of this system is just those sitting in a box or cooler of either a cooler or acrylic glass while they are separated inside and then all that cold air blows passed them. That is what I call temperature control. And then you can I don't know customize it however that you like it and get creative to simply make a case for the AC too from acrylic sheets.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but due to how tight (if even at all) profit is over electricity usage now for mining, if you are producing that much heat to begin with, there is no way that rig is going to be profitable. 

    Most rigs are open boards with cards held in in cool room.  Separate the power supplies a level off the GPUs so the heat output is not transferred as easily. You are going for efficiently over complication.  You want low heat (energy efficient) cards and PSUs.

    But honestly with Chinese mining pools, its like near impossible now for US to make money unless you are getting free energy. Power consumption cost per kilowatt usually exceeds now the profit you make. 10 years ago, that wasn't the case at all, now however, when new people get in to it they get the horrible reality check update when they get their next power bill vs their income from mining. 

    You are working with such small profit margins (if at all) that the simplest system, in a large amount, will be better then one over engineered rig design.
