Phase Change

Hi all,
How much can I expect phase cooling to set me back and anyone know of any UK places to get them from?
What are the components I need to get it going?
Thanks

£400+ (Id budget around £500)
There are a couple of manufacturers who make Phase change cooling systems, but you'd be better off getting a custom built unit. have a look over on the XtremeSystems forums for builders and advice. As for components, you'd need the phase unit itself, neoprene and dielectric grease for insulation and creating an airtight seal.(Unless you mean actually building a phase unit from scratch, in which case you have a LOT of reading to do.)

hell no!
At this stage just buying a unit will be adventurous enough!
Thanks Mark

one thing you need to seriously consider is where you are going to put it i.e. underneath your case or in a new bigger case as this can add a lot of cost and time to your budget. On the plus side it makes your pc really heavy which is kind of an antitheft device against weak smack and crackheads.

JUST NOTICED! If you are planning on overclocking a quad core you will certainly need a custom unit or modified vapo/mach to handle the load. PM Gray Mole at XS.
