No, I haven't. But I'd love to see someone's setup if they have.
For those not familiar with the concept, nice overview of a system for a house here.
For those living on the second floor, in an apartment, whatever, not a great choice. But if you own your place or rent a house where you have access to some soil, why not? No radiator, no fan for the radiator, get the heat out of the house (could switch in the winter to use the heat). Reading about geothermic heating for a house I saw the figure of 15w per meter of tubing collected. However, assuming your groundsoil at tubing buried depth is 70*, doubtful we'll be able to disapate that much. Just don't know though, hence asking. Something else to consider and hopefully someone will try (or has..if so, let us know how it works!)
Just curious
