Kryotech SuperG2 buy or not?

Alright, a little bit of background.

Kryotech is a local company for me, 20 minute drive away. Before companies like nventiv, they were well into this stuff. Well, they have gotten out of the midsize market, as it just never made them any money.

Well, looking through the trader paper, I see that one of their models, the superg2, is up for sale. The guy wants 375, but I will offer 150, as it doesn't have a mount,and I would have to add one either way.

Specs on it -40c under load of a t-bird (this is older obviously)

Wanted your opinions before I bite. my current system is not that great, and I want to move to something else. What do you think?

If it's good and cheap...
Or perhaps they could make some crazy custom cooling for you?

I doubt it, atleast for cheap.

I'm going to go look at it, as the guy who is selling it has no idea what he has, if it is working, all the stuff I need to know.

oooh, old school phase units

I'd say it's worth 250 or so, that's basically Mach I performance, but it'd need a new evap, and I'd probably regass it.

it's designed for old-school heatloads, though...so that -40 might not hold up with newer chips...

Why a new evap? The evap head is only about 1.25" at most, and fits fine on a t-bird head. Found a review of it on anandtech actually

T-birds were beasts of heat loads for the time, 100W+ for 1.86 that they were selling.

Gas is not r134a...

The heatload is fine, it's just that the evap is not very easy to mount, and not the best design.

It'd probably work, but a baker or chilly1 evap would work much better.

Not very easy to mount true
Not best design (sorta, this thing costed 2.1k when it was new)
