Obviously, but a specially designed case would help.

It might help, but it's impossible because you'll have to keep filling it w/ dry ice and aceton (which you'll have to do oustide since aceton is dangerous stuff).
Plus, it would be very expensive. Single stage phase change would be more effective and cheaper over long term.

I'm very curious to see if there is much improvement in gaming benchmarks @ 3.4 or sth!

however, I wouldn't call dry ice for the budget minded, the preparation itself is not budget minded in the narrow sense

buying the container from Jort or Petervandamned is not a very expensive action to take; neither is the acetone or Dry Ice itself.

it's budget minded solution for sub zero cooling compared to TEC/Watercooling & Phase change

only good for a day or so, my Phase change system still works after 3 years.
divide the price with that and you will find it will be much cheaper then a DICE run....

The Senile Doctor · 11th June 2005, 20:05

my thought exactly...

not everybody has €800+ lying around to "invest"

most will do it for a fun run & experiment

Dry ice would be like renting a bottle of nitrous to push the car for a burst of high speed rather than owning a 12-cylinder super car

Or, going to the cat-house rather than having just one woman

Sensing the "high" without any commitment!!

You can go phase change pretty cheap, find and old fridge and rip the compressor out. Or even better, find an old air-co and rip the compressor and condesor out.
Then you'll only need to find somebody that can braze and most other toys won't cost that much.

Even cheaper and more easy is a waterchiller, just drop the fridges freezer in the water and you'll get just below zero.
