I have talked to a few people that have built them, they seam to be able to pull a small tank down a couple degrees, I think DJ88 had one and it pulled his 45 gal down 2 degrees.
It would be the motor that would burn out but it doesent matter as because they are a sealed unit if one goes the whole thing goes in the garbage. for the same price you can get a AC unit and chill the room the tank is in. I am going to rip appart a AC and hook a tube type chiller into it, I have all the equipment at work to evacuate it and recharge it so it is cost effective for me, other wise you have to hire a refrigeration dude to set you up, for a couple bills
