Hey guys, I had a chance to talk to my uncle, the owner of an HVAC company about some extreme cooling. I showed him pictures of some of the rigs on here and XS and he was interested. However, he suggested I look into something called a vortex tube.

the method behind is incredibly simple, and it can wield very low temperatures. They aren't horribly expensive either.

What are your guys thoughts on these, think it would be feasible to have one ducted right above the CPU?
My main concern was the air compressor. What SCFM do you guys think would be required to cool a CPU? It looks like there are 8, 10, 15,25,35 SCFM models of the vortex tubes, and those would require a very nice compressor. My uncle thinks he has a 25 SCFM (wasnt sure) in the shop, and he said I could swing by to check it out, and lend to experiment with. They have a good BTU spec as well, more than enough for a CPU.
So what do you guys think? Should I check it out? Or is there something I have missed making this a horrible idea?
