ok keep in mind i am pretty n00b at sweet cooling.... if you had the option of getting a sweet water chiller (not one of those ghetto stryofoam boxes) a dual evap phase change, or a single evap phase change what would you get??? keep in mind i have no experience (except a koolance i had once... ditched that thing and just got a decent hs/f)

It depends on what you want to do with it. Bench, game. FOLD,ect.... If you want it to run on your benching rig go with the dual evap. For gaming I would say the chiller as long as it is not a LAN box. For FOLDING, I would say the single evap as cpu cycles are the important factor in output.

If it is free then I would go with the dual evap. Just make sure and read up on condesation proofing and get ready for the electric bill!

It is like running a window airconditioning unit 24\7.

If you are not paying the bill throw in some TECS too!
