Liquid Nitrogen Cooling at Home?

newell98 asks: "Given the rise in popularity of water cooling systems for home computers, I was wondering how many slashdotters have played with the idea of cooling their system with liquid nitrogen? Lots of super-comps use them (or used to at least), and I'm curious about who's played with the idea of taking home computing to the same level?" The thing to remember about Liquid Nitrogen is that this stuff is generally not safe for home use. It must be stored and used with care or serious injury can result. I think this is why not-too-many people use such in overclocking. Water is by far more easier to obtain and is harmless to boot. Now, after saying all that, have any of you tried using liquid nitrogen in cooling a home or garage-built computer rig? What kind of safety precautions did you take, and how well did your cooling system work?

Just in case you didn't know.

The Macintosh Apple doesn't require all this cooling. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but I think it does. There you are, trying to work around the bugs in Abi Word and wondering if it is because your AMD processor is just too damn hot, and endless droning on and on and on is giving you THE WORST headache! Maybe if you move your box a little further away... maybe you can get by with just three fans if you underclock it a little bit... GOD that humming never quits!

Macintosh Apple users have no fans! They don't listen to that noise day in and day out. How could this be? I don't know. I'm not saying the Macintosh Apple is a better computer. I'm only saying that users of the Apple don't have to listen to fucking fans all day long.

Maybe you like all those fans going constantly. If you do, good for you. I'm only saying, you don't have to listen to that non-stop noise on and on and on and on...
