now add that to your pc case and go grab some nice 220 lines. oc to the max with a setup that large.
So whats the point for it?
What do you plan on cooling?
House or what?

Water :D

But then, you can do anything with that water. In the summer, I can pump it thru some small radiators with fans to cool my mum and brother's bedroom. For concerts at school etc, I can use it to chill fog to keep it low on the ground. At parties you can fill it right up and use it as a drink cooler. Endless uses :D

I'm adding a 20x4 LCD on the top panel, which I can use to give error readouts, temps of various components, set temps etc. Then I'll have 2 or so little push buttons to set the temperature.

Will be nice, is it a blue backlight one?
It would kinda go with the whole "cool" theme.

My guess is they simply upgraded to a larger unit. The fact the valves were closed and it still contained gas indicates it was removed by a professional.

As to where I found it, it really was just on the side of the road.

Perhaps it fell out of a pickup or something ;)

I like the drink cooler idea - you can probably fill one of those inflatable pools with water and cans of beer and keep that chilled :)

What's funny is that's actually possible :D

I have a inflatable spa thing that used to have a 2kW heater, so I'd think a 3.2kW cooler would get it nice and chilly :)

Although, I probably wouldn't leave the unit with a few guys with that much beer .. Maybe if it was a huge party or something :D

It'd be much cheaper to find an AC in the US, shipping this thing would be a couple hundred at least.

Prototyped the circuitry on a breadboard, then transfered it to a PCB. Yes, it's a massive PCB, but more room for expansion later ;) My aircon is going to have more circuitry than Nasa's shuttles! :D

Now all I gotta do is work out the delay code for the compressor, the rest of the code is done :D

EDIT: Figured all the code out, it's ready for testing in the unit tomorrow :D
