This evaporator unit is old stock and obsolete, I have won it.
If you were in my shoes what would you do with it? if anything.

could be a condensor i guess, never thought about that.

ok, after a bit of thought this is what i want to do and would like your opinions.

the plan in my head so far, cut half the cowling off that unit and make it more compact.
turn in on it's side so the expansion valve is facing up.
weld on a condensing unit, 404a would be easy for me
run pipes three feet from condensor to evap
place evaporator into an insulated tank of liquid.
rig in a stat or two and some natty little control panel.
run water pipes 30ft to my computer.
switch on and???
it would be good if it worked.
