| Dry Ice Cooling Has anyone ever thought about or seen a dry ice cooled PC ? A little cage with dry ice blocks in it, with fans blowing the cold air around ? Just a thought. It is Inevitable.....  |

| Cunning......although I feel that changing the "cooler" would get a little annoying every 5 minutes  Just stick a smoke machine in there somewhere, nice way of demonstrating the air flow in the case.

| Yep, and toms have done it with N2, and it really isnt worth it, you wont get that much cooler than a vapochill, especially considering a vapochill will run forever, whereas N2 will need topping up once every half hour.
