Find me a single stage phase unit anywhere on any forum that draws less power from the wall than heat it moves.

They move about 250-300w of heat, and draw 500-600 from the wall.

Not to mention, cascades trip 30A breakers @ 120v, which is 3600w, all used to move the same 300w of heat output by a quadcore processor.
