not sure what you are asking for?
what do you mean by .....flash cooler....
are you refering to a chiller ready to go,or a direct cpu evaperator system....
i just dont understand what you meant by flash cooler

but go here (http://www.phase-change.com/phpBB2/index.php)

Well theres that on ebay, or like bowman says join us on phase change ;)
Someone on pclincs forums had a couple of waterchillers that needed new homes, although theyre probably gone by now...

what kind of compressor and refrigerant does the cpufx chiller use? it looks tempting...
sort of debating on whether to go with a chiller or direct die phase change cooling...would anyone care to give the pros and cons?
Chiller
Pros -
simply add to watercooling if you already have
tecs if you wish
cool gfx and nb aswell as cpu
future proof, just add a new waterblock for new hole specifications
Cons -
lots of insulation, everywhere
not very portable
Direct Die
Pros -
Portableish (vapo/prommie)
Lower cpu temperatures
Cons -
Still need wc and probably tecs+paraphenalia, unless you go direct nb and gfx too ;)
Sure theres more but thats what i can think of right now. If you already have watercooling and tecs, id go waterchiller in a heart beat. (saying that i do, but im still building a direct die phasechange setup :stick: )
