It's time to purchase a chiller. Temps in the 90g have reached 83-84 daily for the past four days.

Any suggestions for a reputable brand? I would like a model that is aesthetically pleasing, as it will be sitting out in the open in my living room. Also, I was browsing for chillers some time last year and found one that has a plug for and will control the heater as well, but I can't seem to find it now.

Any ideas?

I read some pretty good things about the via aqua chiller. I have never used a chiller myself so it is not a personal recomendation.But I have used a few of their products and was happy so you might want to look into them.

I have the Arctica by JBJ comes with a built in temp controller and is very pleasant looking.

LOL, will do hummer!
I found a place that will throw in the pump and ship ground for free. It is rated for 130g, so it should be more than adequate for my tank (90g). I have toyed with the idea of going for the 1/5 HP (180g), because you never know when the upgrade bug will bite. ;)
