What do you guys think of using something like this?

If you could extend the lines and put them in the sump, it may work.
Would also have to replace the heatblock/pump for something saltwater compatible.

This might work for very small tanks, but need to watch for toxic materials that your water will come in to contact with. Salt water will oxidize metals quickly, if its all plastic this not an issue.

Computer water cooling would never work on a tank. You might get away with a small nano under 10 gals but I doubt that would even work. I've built 3 computers with water cooling so I have dabbled in it. The heat exchanger in these systems is only 1 or 2 sq. inches in size. You would need several dozen radiators and fans to feed a submerged coil in the sump. This would far exceed the cost of a properly sized chiller. Here is my last build with a double radiator and a waterblock on the cpu. It allows me to run at 27C during the hot summers.
