Designed by the venerable Chilly1. Possibly selling for $300.

how is it that other comparable products cost twice as much? if they can do it under $300, it would DESTROY the prospect of watercooling

also: WHEN?!?!?!?
Click to expand...

When: Reportedly soon...

How: It uses a 1/6 HP compressor, and cheaper gasses. That means it will pull down to about -10 under load. For reference, my Vapo pulls down to -22 under load. Also, the controller is probably not as spiffy, and the level of detail isn't probably up to the same spec.

How much does it cost a month to run something like this?

Running a vapo costs about $25-35 a month, but that's 1/4 HP, this is 1/6, so I'm guessing about $15-22 a month. About like running an extra high and computer-end monitor.

Not really, they have the advantage of selling a hell-of-a-lot-of-em using the OCZ brand name and Chilly1's name. Hence, they get more bulk discount than Asetek or Prometia.

the thing is that OCZ doesnt make low end stuff

This will be a lower end phase changer. There is no denying that. But this is the first time sub-ambient cooling is available for less than $500 without resorting to dice or LN.
 
Low end? -10C is good enough. As for it destroying watercooling, unlikely. Watercooling for $300 can get you a complete loop with CPU block, GPU block(s), and perhaps a more compact cooling system.

-10c is still low end for phase change. And lots of people spend $450 plus on water cooling, so this could still be a water cooling killer. What someone should really bring out is a $300 water chiller. That would rock.
