I think Homeless Man is being a bit sarcastic and his point is... Buy the cooler running thermostat you think you want and see what happens. If it doesn't deliver... buy another one. It's peanuts compared to what you will be spending.

MY thermostat and fans in the tune are set to 160, and they cost 25$.
