Default Where to buy Phase Coolers UK

hi,
been thinking about what I can do for my next project, and just wondered where I can buy a phase cooler in teh UK, or do i have to get it imported from the US.
also, what is the best cooler - i have only really come across 2, the mach II and the vapochill XE.
I'm a total noob @ phase, so owt complicated, dumb it down

thanks
Nick

Good luck importing a phase unit from another country. Most countries has strict laws regarding cross border shipping of anything with refridgerated coolant in it.

Just ask OCZ...

Before you do anything I would check with someone that knows...things may have changed since I virtually gave up phase but vapochills at that time where not good for the latest CPU's. Don't know what your planning to use it with but it would certainly be a point to check because yes....you may well end up having to import. The other problem is finding a friendly HVAC to help when it goes wrong etc....they tend to be thin on the ground as well.

Phase...and basically A/C is not really a common thing here in the UK is it ?

More like an expensive luxury.

Another problem importing one from the states is they are on 110 volt 60 hertz power where as in the UK you are on 220/240 volt 50 hertz power the same as here in Australia. When I was living in the US it made it hard to bring anything electrical back here to Aus
