Building your own Phase Change system can be cheaper than a water cooling system. All it really takes is a fridge, and then some minor modifications on your part, minus the evaporator because you need that specially machined.
@WOOT6600GT: Do you know how a refrigerator? An extremely basic rundown of phase change:
Imagine a refrigerator. The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor, turning it into liquid, it passes through an expansion valve where there is a pressure difference on either side of it, because of the pressure difference the liquid turns into a gas and begins to boil. When a refrigerant boils, it boils at negative temperatures and takes heat with it. This evaporating refigerant is pumped through the evaporator (basically a waterblock on your cpu) where it evaporates taking the hot from the cpu with it. Since it is a closed system, it all stays within the system and the cycle repeats itself.
Very basic, very crude rundown of a phase change. They all vary, and there is a hell of a lot more to them than that. But, basically, that is how they work.
