your phase change pulls as much as a chiller it would seem. Phase change can cool one item really well, but a chiller can cool more components, just not as cold. Chillers are the jack of all trades.
a good water chiller and a good phase usually share a 3/4 hp compressor so 350W to 550W would be the continual power draw. and a water chiller would be great for an all around usage. while phase is great for one component but with out the 1 hour wait time. or in my case..(my 4k btu chiller and res - 15 minutes, but it will not hold anything at -0 for ever. but it didn't do that bad with 2 gtx295's and a 920 at 40F :))
