Guys I'm very new to all things refrigerated so be gentle when beating me about the head for being ignorant. I really have two questions.
The Vapochill case cooler isn't going to get me Lightspeed like results but would it make enough difference, overall, to justify the expense? My thinking is that the case cooler could be used with anything: even BTX cases. It will probably help right now in my Skt.478 air cooled setup and I could use it to keep the ambient air cool for all the other components when I transistion to Skt.775 and either water (or if I just take the plunge and get a Lightspeed or whatever is available then).
Let me know if I'm off base here.
Finally, the second question, I want 24/7 operation which in this neck of the woods means UPS units with AVR (rural location). How heavy a UPS (wattage wise) are we talking about to run a LightSpeed? Would a dedicated 670 Watt (1200 VAC) unit keep the unit running long enough for the automatic shutdown to kick in on the PC (say 10 to 15 minutes) in case of a loss of power?
