nah, sdumper is strait up. i talked to him on a few occassions. him and ron mccall. both are good guys in the phase world.

Wait, what? sdumper is offering you a phase Halo? Wanna PM me the cost and specs if he sent you those? I am interested in getting a phase from him, but don't want to tell him a certain cost i want it under and it be unreasonably cheap.

PM'd.

replied Halo. Thanks for the info.

Anytime Rabid. 

I wonder how economical phase is compared to a chiller.  The power requirements, and the overall wattage that the phase compressor uses vs the larger compressor of a 5K BTU AC.

Pretty sure phase is quite a bit more power efficient. I spent the last week or so trying to learn the formulas for converting one to the other but its pretty hard hopefully I can tell you in a few days how to calculate it. OH lephron????

I think it is a lot more efficient. I wonder if I should just cheap out on my WC, spend like $100 total, and save up for a phase for next year? Seems like a good idea. Also I need pots anyways, found out the local Publix carries DICE.

phase is like 120 to 200 watt power draw...no real calculating needed...
5000 btu/12000 btu pretty much speak for them selves on power....
side note...
that compressor gets pretty damn hot though and im kind of never when it comes to running 24/7 at a super high over clock...but then i dont have a controller board either...
but in the end..water is better..because you can run it 24/7 to multiple parts...while phase is only on part per head.

Phase is more efficiant then a chiller purely from the standpoint of parasitic losses.

A phase cooler basically only cools the CPU or Gpu, and the refrigerant compressor .

A chiller cools the cpu/Gpu, the compressor, plus all the insulated lines, pump,  and reservoir, which all add considerable heat to the system.
