Default Anyone Uses Ice Probe ... ?

I read from some URLs that there is this stuff called the Ice Probe ( or something sounds similar ). It works like a chiller except more handy. May I know how effective is this stuff and if my setup is 2.5ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft, will this be effective ...... ?

Better spend the dollars to get a reliable "used" chiller ...

But then chiller is damm power hungry right ? 200w still not enough, need to add extra power for pump also. Operating a chiller is like running another fridge or air con in the house, right ? Moreover, I heard chillers are noisy oso .....

If so, mywife will kill me leh .........
