I've been trying to figure this out all day. Are you saying a system with more cooling capacity (btu's) will be able to reach a lower temperature? It seemed to me the minimum temperature was based on the refrigerant and having a compressor+condenser+evap+capillary+etc to match it. Is one R-22 system able to reach lower temperatures than another? Because a 1500 btu/hour (439.6 watts) system would more than take care of a single PC as far as bringing it to ambient; it's the "overclocking" of phase change systems and running them cooler than they are intended to go where I have very little understanding.
