Just to be clear on my unit it has a temp controller, so I could set it a degree or to above dew point and not worry about condensation. The controller was the most expensive part at $55, but in total it was less than $150 to do mine. And yes, it still runs. I fire it up every now and then for old times sake. One of these days I will get back into it. Chillers are awesome, especially if you can do it like yours where you mount it in the window.
