About 2 weeks ago, I stumbled upon a for-sale phase change unit online. Of course, the guy ended up being one of the members of this forum (Ruffus). He's been very helpful throughout this entire process, and even said that he'd take a lower price than i had offered to him!
He shipped out the unit right away, and included a bunch of stuff voluntarily that will help me out a lot (insulation, eraser, mounting backplate, nuts, bolts, dielectric grease, and even 2 temperature probes and an LCD display).
I just picked up the unit today, and haven't had a chance to do temperature testing yet, as my PC is broken ATM. I will be building a new e8500 + DFI p45 rig in the next few weeks. Although I haven't really done proper testing yet, I have turned it on for short periods of time, and it pulls down very fast. When i had last turned the unit on 1 hr ago and turned it back on, within ~10-15 secs of power on, it was getting frost on the evap from my breath.
Although I have not done proper testing as of yet, Ruffus has been very helpful, and this low price unit seems well made so far. He also did an amazing job on the acrylic case. Cell phone pic attached, more to come. I'd highly recommend talking to Ruffus if you're interested in a phase unit; his MSN is bradley122978@hotmail.com
Cheers
