So much for Ohm's Law!!!
Ohm's law relates the voltage to current and resistance in an ideal circuit. Since we're talking about heat engines, the relevent law is Carnot's. Or was that not aimed at me

Out of curiosity (because I could never spend that much), is it really worth the $300+, instead of spending $400 and getting a used Prometia?
Well a basic chiller will be a lot cheaper then 300 dollars, although unless you regas it properly it won't cool as well. You could convert an existing watercooled setup to a chiller for less then a hundred bucks, but you're not likely to get much below -15 or -20 without a regas (which can be done for virtually nothing but requires a torch + some idea what you're doing). Not to mention a prometia really isn't worth it without a regas anyway IMO . . .
