So far I have more or less got the chiller working at 10C and below. This is of course on only the CPU (no northbridge or GPU for now) The chiller has been running great for the past 4 months. I have even left town for a few weeks (leaving it in the hands of my mac using roomate). It stays on all the time and so far so good. But, as you mention this thing isn't made to run 24/7 (w/o temp controller at least). I anticipate that with this type of use it may only last 1 to 2 years. heh, hoping for two. At the moment I am building a new case that will include and AC chiller. The heatwave in Seattle has let up and my AC unit is now in pieces and ready for the big time!!
