Advice: Don't lick it. And how are you supposed to keep it at -196 celsius? Even if its outside in the south pole it'll harden. What an idiot. Man, but can't ignore the overclocking potential. T-bird 1000mhz running at approx. 40ghz.

how much does 2 gallons of "Flourinert" (sp?) cost? I wouldnt mind trying it with the 2nd tub just full of ice, that seemed to do a pretty good job itself

I'd like to see some benchmarks of an overclocked TBird, how high can they actually go?

Train:
Didn't he write something like $500 pr gallon ?

Anyway, it was a fun read. The part about holding the LN2 in thermo's really reminded me of when I was studying to be a Chemical Engineer (gave it up for computers), and some genius tried to transport fluid Chloride in thermos, which leaked

Luckily noone was seriously injured, although something like 10 people was taken to the hospital, and he was ever after thoroughly avoided whenever he was seen in the halls with a thermo

I had a teacher who demonstrated LN2 to us, it was great
He started off by freezing a rubber tube and smashing it with a hammer, which is a pretty ordinary way of demonstrating, but the proceed to throw it at people! Of course it evaporated before it reached us, but the shock effect was there
He finished off by pouring the remains onto his desk and leaving, it was great fun

$500 ouch,

any other liquids that dont conduct electricity? (and dont eat motherboards)

ya LN2 definetly is cool, ive seen some cool demonstrations with it, then there was the time I crashed a truck full of it and spilled it all over this evil cop that was chasing me, then after he was solid, i shot him and he shattered into a million pieces, ha ha ha.
