(If you base it on cooling the CPU only, no other components.)
If you have a dry ice factory next to your house.....

Butchers use dry ice in their freezers so shouldn't be too hard to find

Its not really a permanent solution either, can't keep the computer at those temps all the time, not unless I want to top up the pot every few hours lol

That's more what I was getting onto, like you need a constant supply of dry ice.

Have you managed to find a good source of it yet? I know it is cheap, if you know where to get it....

My grandad is a buthcher but he doesn't use any.

Nothing like Tesco Customer Service..

You could try various DJ sites?
Thinking you might find some not brilliant but cheap stuff somewhere.

HTFR is a great site, not sure if they do dry ice or not, and if they do it may only be quality stuff.. anywho it could be worth a shot.

Ya gotta admit that the coolness factor of having a DICE computer is hard to top (double entendre intended lol).

BTW: Why does this site always underline words in red (indicating a misspelled word), that are correctly spelled? Is it because it's a damn Brit site lol, and I'm spelling in American? Case in point: entendre. According to Merriam-Webster, I'm dead nuts accurate, yet there is that annoying red line.......... Yet, "Ya" and "gotta" (both very informal slang at best) get no red lines...........

I think it's just the spell checker. It does seem to have special moments with me as well.

LOL I didn't know what that was so I googled it. You may want to read the user review from c_haasl in the link below. it seems to be full of good info on setting up the MoBo you just bought. It's a good review BTW, it just outlines some possible set up problems and their solutions.
