The phase change cooling is hooked up, and as you can see, it's working beautifully. Running at -53C on stock settings at the time of writing this post (although the more I type the further the temperature falls -- it started at -48C when I began writing this, so it may end up colder than -53C eventually).
Also, to anyone else who tries to run this Vapochill phase change cooling system: do not try to turn it on with your case on it's side. Stand your case up vertically first. We tried with the case on it's side at first and I've never heard a computer make a worse noise, plus the whole case shook (if you did this with normal hdd's spinning it really could just horribly break them too due to the crazy huge vibrations) -- it literally sounded like a lawn mower (perhaps half as loud though), and we thought we had broken everything. We turned the case vertically and things seem okay (no more awful noise/vibrations at all, runs fairly cool actually), but I strongly advise nobody else attempt to try it.
