Ok...I finally ordered the thing. I won't be able to test it out though until I get the rest of my water cooling setup purchased....which actually requires me to actually decide on components

Here's the link if anyone doesn't know what this is:

If it works as I anticipate, I will feel very good about the money I spent for it.

Sounds like a fun project actually.

Good luck with the PID loops! http://www.procooling.com/ubb/wink.gif

Just got the unit in today.

All I can say for right now is Wow! the friggin thing is TINY!

About the size and thickness of small pack of cigarettes...maybe a little smaller even. I was planning on pulling the guts outa the thing and doing a custom install but it looks like there is a clear sealant along the edge of the top cover.

I still think I could get the thing apart but there wouldn't be any going back if I wanted to because the casing would be destroyed. http://www.procooling.com/ubb/frown.gif

No chance to actually test it out yet either. Still accumulating parts for my rig...of which includes the missing TEC.

I'll post again when I can actually TEST the thing.
