Refrigeration (phase change) tech is far more robust and established, and cheaper to run. Pelts are simpler to add though.

Do you (or anyone else) know of a way to make sure the PC isn't running without the water flowing? ie: pump dies and pc turns off. I tried looking at my Abit KR7A (not 133 or raid) BIOS and couldn't find a temp shut-off feature. BTW, i'm just talking about normal inline watercooling, not TEC/Pelts. So far, the only thing i can think of is to use MBM shut-off, but i'm scared that if i come home with a smoking pc to find out that my pc got a BSOD; being reason MBM didn't turn the pc off.
