OK i just built a custom cabinet and I would like to put my chiller in it . I have one 120mm fan for supply air and two 120mm fans for exhaust air. I will be putting my chiller back up against my two 120mm exhaust fans so there will be no heat returning inside cabinet . Will this work?

Ummm... maybe.
The way you'd have to know for sure is to get the airflow specs from the manufactuer, and install equal that capacity in fan airflow, along with a duct of some sort to ensure proper airflow.
I can tell you from my server experience that if you have a rack full of servers putting out heat, and you install a set of fans at the top, even though the fans are more than enough to keep the cabinet cool, you get hotspots throughout the cabinet.
Really, there is no way to know but to wait and see. Personally, I'd look towards plumbing the chiller in an alternate location such as outside, in a basement, garage, etc.
