The short answer is no,
i have a 1/2 hp also and it is loud, i mean it's not terrible loud, but i would NOT want it in a living room type of atmosphere.
ALSO this thing throws out a huge amount of heat. No matter what you do it will heat up the room.
It would NOT be effective for you to put it under the 180. The chiller woudl run all the time. I mean the heat it throws out would heat up the tank.
I remoted located mine about 50 feet away in a back room.
i suggest you remote locate yours also.
