Re: PS on Water Cooling

I still use the garbage can full of coolant.  I'm fairly disaster proof
since the can sits in the garage which has its own drain and the tubing
immediately goes outside.

How important is a chiller for the Mark IV?  My current system is purely
ambient and seems to work well for the Mark III except on the hottest
nights.
