Thoughts on CoolIT's Eliminator?

I have been debating matriculating to a low cost water solution from my Ninja set-up. I have been weighing the strengths of Petra's Lite set-up versus the Nautilus 500 for the past month.

Now Cool IT introduces the Eliminator priced at $199. It seems to me that a TEC chilled unit will be more effective in Florida's summer heat than a single or double 120mm radiator configuration. Cool IT's Freezone has been available for awhile, but I surmise that the $350.00 price tag has prevented a wider adoption.

If anyone has any insights I would appreciate it.
 
I think it's ugly and still lacking a 120mm fan (grr)...

But if it performs well... Who cares.

We need to wait for more reviews of it :)
 
I've got one of the new CoolIt's on the way, hopefully it'll get here before to much longer............ :D I'll only be running it on a AMD X2 against a Swiftech APOGEE with a MCP655 and MCR320 triple radiator........... :D
 
I didn't, it's a review sample, I was just asked last week if I would like to review one.......;) As you would expect, I told them yes and also mentioned the new GPU cooler as well. So we'll have to wait and see what shows up............:)
 
I will be anxious to read your review. Where may I ask will it be posted?

It appears that most of the availability of Cool IT's products are in the United Kingdom and Europe.
 
I think it's supposed to look like a rocket ship or something if you look at it from a side window or something...
 
Yeah I would be interested in seeing your review of the CoolIT Eliminator too. btw the Freezer is down to 279.99 on Amazon

These products are coming from a company that can't even properly engineer a USB beverage chiller....I dont trust them with my computers cooling any more than I trust them with my Diet Coke cooling.
 
Not even a usb beverage chiller really? Damn. Like, that's what the teach u in cpu cooling school 101. If they just made usb coolers like such and such, yeah then the sky would be the limit. if only they were like such and such
 
The differences between the Eliminator and teh Freezone are as follows:

Cooling Capabilities:
Freezone is recommended for CPUs with total heat output of up to 175W.
Higher loads can be accommodated but the result will be comparable to
water cooling. The Eliminator is recommended for CPUs with a total heat
output of up to 125W.

The Eliminator is targeted for overclocking nearly any dual core CPU
while the Freezone is more than capable of cooling the new quad core
kentsfield from Intel.

MTEC Design differences:
The technical differences are primarily the number of TEC's and the
unique design of the radial heatsink on the Eliminator vs the rectangular shape of the
Freezone Heatsink.

Eliminator has 3 TECs with a total maximum power draw of 40W. The
Freezone has 6 TECs with a total maximum power draw of 56W. (excluding
the pump and fan for both measurements)

Thermal Control Module:
The Freezone TCM senses temperature of the coolant and regulates the
cooling power like a thermostat to avoid risk of condensation. That
said, if the temperature is set too low, the coolant will go well below
ambient and condensation can occur.

The TCM on the Eliminator has 3 settings - low, medium and high. "Low"
is intended for very low power CPU's in a multimedia setting where there
is a desire for very low noise output. "Medium" will be more than
adequate cooling for day to day activities as well as gaming for stock
processor speeds. "High" is maximum cooling power for the overclocking
enthusiasts.

I hope that's helpful in answering the questions for everyone. If you have more interest, 3dgameman.com just published the first review.
