    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.

    U had Indian + Beer for dinner didnt you? Ohh.. admit it...

    I would reckon liquid N2 would be a better candidate.. insulated polyester vacuum cage... -150C.. the chip would be the limit...

    Good that it RATs into my lab's 1024 node cluster..

    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.
