Hey Freaky,
I don't really have a compressor yet, I was going to try to use the one I tore out of my window a/c unit which is a 1 hp 10,000 btu Matsushita, the bad thing about it is it's a high temp unit and runs at 309F. That wouldn't make the room to comfortable in the summer but it sure as hell would freeze the cpu. I think I am going to get a 1/5th or 1/3rd hp low temp compr with about a 1,000 btu. I think it should be plenty to cool the cpu off. The thing I like about phase change cooling is it won't kill you computer parts if it leaks, it would make ya feel pretty good if your in the room when it goes. I don't know what the bar rating is on the compressor I have.
