Chilly1 or Baker Prometia in the US

[VONuclear]

I live in the US and I would love to get my hands on either a Chilly1 or Baker Extreme unit. I assume you guys make them, so the chance of finding one here is slim to none. Can a mod or someone who knows PM me with a way to get one here?

Also, I noticed Baker's unit comes with his hold-down / enclosure system which is great. I've got 2 of his custom units and they are by far the best I've used. Does the Chilly unit come with his enclosure / hold down system also?

Best bet is to spk to Phil as he is the man in charge

Sure it might be able to ship one out

Hi there VONuclear (interesting name??) I am the owner of EP. First things first if you want a custom unit then you will need to run a voltage converter as these are Euro spec 240v units. Secondly yes the Chilly1's do come with enclosure, which is as good as the Baker one. They are both a lot better than the stock Mach II enclosure. I am prepared to ship via insured Fedex which takes 2 days and I have a chilly1 in stock but like I said, if you want it you have to make sure you are running a voltage converter first of all.

LOL, my username is unique. VO is short for my website, Virtual-Octane.net...and Nuclear is my name that alot of people know me by. I squash them together, as Nuclear is almost always taken.

I wasn't even thinking of having to use a power converter, that would pose a problem I guess. I'm not sure of where to buy one.

Let me do some looking and I'll PM you about the Chilly1 unit. I'm doing a head to head cooling comparo between "pre-made" single stages and a custom single stages, as I often get asked those questions. I've gotten a LS and GT, I was just hoping to jump on a Chilly1 or Baker Extreme to show the extreme end of off the shelf units.

Thanks

The difference between, custom and pre-made? But if you compare the Chilly1 to the one you have it will be Custom-tocustom single stage comparison as Phil has them modified, they aren't made that way.

Umm, I see where you are coming from, but maybe your definition of custom and mine are different. You can buy a Chilly1 unit from a store, all be it customized with parts...it's still pretty much a regassed GT. This is why I consider it a pre-made unit.

My custom Baker cooler is nothing you could find in a store, and finding someone to build it would be much harder. My Cooler has a 10K BTU rotary compressor, which is not something you'll ever find in a off the shelf unit. Also, my unit loads around -62C, which is much colder than a pre-made can do.

Baker himself built that unit. It's a true gem, one of the most powerful single stage systems known about. It's very powerful and nothing like a LS or GT. It has a special edition baker block, so recovery time is awesome.

I'm sad to say it's for sale though

I get what you mean now. That is one truely awesome looking piece of kit. How much you selling it for?

 

[VONuclear]

Umm, I'm not sure if the forum permits this...so a mod may feel free to edit my post.

I'm asking $650 USD for the unit, only because its a custom and provides excellent temps. A stock LS or GT here in the states will run you about $830-$1000...and offer load temps in the -40s. This cooler can provide true load temps in the -60C range, so I feel my price is fair.

The only reason I am selling it is because I am getting out of the full time benching scene for a bit. My job position has changed, and with that comes more travel time. I would hate to have this unit just sitting around, so I figured I would sell it to someone who could get good use from it.

That is a nice little unit, that I would love to have to be honest, but I have no cash at the moment. How much did it cost to have made exactly? Maybe I'll get one from Chilly or Baker when I have some cash.

Your post is not really against rules, I'd just post it into the Classifieds section anyway, see what offers you get.
