I'm not looking for super low temp stuff, just a quiet, reliable cooling solution for video processing machines.

R134a won't deal with the heat loads off todays GPU all that well nor a CPU.

I just took delivery of 4 of these compressers, thankfully i have some freinds in high places. A mate wants to play with them and see what he can make!

There 12v and draw 50w

R 134a has just dandy capacity, with out temp the statement you made is meaningless to say the least, all so depends on compressor and condensor!

It's thermaltake, that says it all! Ie garbage!

Cool....

Where can I get one of these ? :D

Just buy the compressor and make your own, the idiots have the compressor insulated! good way to kill it fast!

If it is cooled with refrigerant then there is no such a danger. Also, if it is not insulated and not cooled by refrigerant it will then additionally heated PC housing and component's in it.

It is a rotery, discharge is the shell and suction gas goes directly to the compression chamber!

So it will quite adaquetly heat the PC shell! This is not an issue as case fans will deal with this heat aptly! it is only one spot we need cool!

Gonna try and play with one this week out the 4 i have here now!

pjalchemist,
Where might one order them?

Thanks

I have a freind that personly works at Thermaltake whom sent me them.

There made in china
