Its those kind of systems that are just clocked for benchmarks and nothing more. Id be suprised if it could stay on for more than a few hours before becoming unstable.

Most likely no more than a few seconds. They are designed to work once to get a really high benchmark. A lot of times the whole machine dies after a single run.

Yup, not the kinda thing id be into, i wouldn't mind a vapochill unit but theyre designed to let you get -50c and be as stable as a regular pc, not a 10 minute blowing its load wonder.

Whatever floats their boat i guess, i find the whole thing pointless.

I'd take a Vapo anyday too. But they definitely won't keep you at -50. From what I've seen they are closer to 0-10deg. I would rather have a Prometeia, those will keep you at -50. But they are both very loud. Not vantec tornado loud, but loud. I'd probably keep it in a closet.
