What I learned tonight:

1. Don't turn a compressor upside down (why...see 2)

2. Compressors have oil inside...and it comes out if you turn it upside down

3. Chevette heater cores make 'funny' 'popping' sounds like in the movie U571 when you put high pressure on them...don't use them as an evaporator... :shrug:

4. Soldering tiny copper tubes is harder than I thought

5. You don't really need that many parts to make a phase change cooler.

Pictures when I get my computer reinstalled (Quantum LM20 is giving me the creeps...it ignores me sometimes...)
