Yesterday reviewers started to receive units for review
$299 a piece plus 35 dollars shipping and handling, units go on sale when the web page is available on www.ocztechnology.com
I will have my initial thread up tomorrow afternoon with an E8400, budget chip and phase change cooler combo. If the 9850BE will allow me to go cold I will also be showing that combo as well.
Look forward to a Cryo-Z giveaway on XS details soon.

The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."
Oh please don't let this be a sick and twisted Late-Pril Fools Day joke
$299 a piece? I never believed that would hold true, how can they turn a profit?
In any case, I'm very excited for results and hope that these units are up to the typical OCZ par.

Good luck... I'm really lookin' forwards too see if it does 0 or below, cpu temp... and if evap can maintain 0C at 1.6-1.65v CPU load...
Fits under case, should be good for 24/7 operation.
I see, this could be quite the ownage if it turns out to get at least sub-ambient, hell for $299 I'd be content with ambient. You'd spend at least that much on any liquid cooled setup.

‘What sort of people live about here?’
‘In that direction,’ the Cat said, waving its right paw round, ‘lives a Hatter: and in that direction,’
waving the other paw, ‘lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they’re both mad.’
‘But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked.
‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: ‘we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.’
‘How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.
‘You must be,’ said the Cat, ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.’
- Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, 1865
To bad it is USA only, because 299 dollar is only 190 euro. You never find a second hand phase cooler around here for that price. If you live in the USA, grab ur change. Even when the performance is much lower then custom units it still is a great benching unit for a low price. I'm curious how it will perform.
