Wouldn't it be great if we could have our PCs cooled down to -30C or even lower? :)

I've done a quick search and it is possible through vapor compression refrigeration (aka Phase-Change technology) but the prices of such units is so high that is impractical for most people.

Here is one such unit, the Cooler Express 2009, priced at $899.99... :-(

From what I read, vapor compression is the technique used in ACs, for cooling down any kind of large areas like houses, offices, stores, etc. This is basically a smaller sized unit made to cool CPUs, which would be great if it wasn't for the price.

And here lies the question... is there anyone in here that has one of these or similar? :)
