I've built more than 35 phase change units, including a dual 1HP rotary -115c cascade which I built more than 4 years ago & it's still going strong to this day.
I build/run phase change unit almost identical to this for my computer which is worth a hell of a lot more than my fish tank, which I had running for >3yrs 24/7 until I took it down.

Im not saying there are not compressors that will work, just not off your typical small refridgerator. The system capacity is not high enough, and the end cost is not low enough for your average person to make it worth while.
P.S. if your computer is worth more then your fish tank your doing it wrong.
