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.
