Nice one mate, I've been waiting to see someone with a Coolit Freezone hybrid TEC/water cooling unit. So what's your opinion of it so far? Was it worth the amount you paid?

Well I've had the Freezone approx. 7 months and haven't looked back. Was it worth the money? By the time you set up a decent watercooling system it will be the same price if not more without the sub ambient results. I thought the thermo control module had buggered up, contacted Coolit and they sent a replacement for free no questions asked, then discovered one of the resistors was shorting out on the case. I now have two perfectly good controllers! :)

Very Nice!

A great assembly. Almost looks surgically clean. You have me seriously considering breaking down my water in favor of TEC. I build some pretty flashy systems because thats what most customers ask for, but nothing is classier than the look of clean shiny steel. Very nice mate!
9/10. No computer is perfect, but yours sure comes close.

For the CoolIT Freezone, do you have to use the included fan? I read that it was a 92mm. Can you use a 120mm?

This is an almost perfect machine. I'm so getting the Stacker for my next setup. 9/10 from me.

You can purchase a 92mm-120mm adapter and mount a 120mm fan but I have chosen to stick with the stock 92mm fan. Check out HeavyH20's rig with an adapter installed.

nice set up, very powerful. gtx's would've been better, but the two gts are the same as one gtx, so i can see why you got gts's. very nice 9 out of 10.
