I guess heat won't be a big problem with this system.

There's a saying at Xtreme Systems that applies here...
"Friends Don't Let Freinds Do Thermaltake" :lol
I would be very weary if this. At the very least, I'd let somebody else be the guinea pig and wait for reviews. Many have tried to do micro refrigerators with alot higher end evaps and pumps than that and have failed. Problems include heat saturation, condensation, and a myraid of other issues.
TT is trying to replace phase change cooling with a cheaper alternative. I doubt they can do what high end OC'ers have failed to do for years.
This is kinda like their "Big Water" watercooling gear that was supposed to be the "better way". What they didn't tell people is that they were using mixed metals...i.e. Al and Cu in the water loop which creates galvanic corrosion. Any watercooler that has the just the basics down, knows that is a no no.
Buyer Beware on this. I have serious doubts about this.

Here is an example of a high quality Phase change unit. There is also another one called a Mach II, and some high end OC'ers on Xtreme actually build custom Phase coolers that can get down to -120C...yes that's *negative* 120 degrees C. It takes what is called a triple cascade type phase cooler and those can cost some serious money.
If you wannna go phase and take the precautions against condensation and go to the trouble of sealing all that stuff up you might as well go with a high quality unit, and go all the way.
