liquid nitrogen cooling a possibility?

[Joel Jaeggli]

Kryotech uses vapor phase refridgeration units... Unlike LN you don't have
to worry about evaporation of your coolant (except long term(leaks)) so
you don't have to replace it constantly... They're kinda out of the pc
business for now (it's hard to compete economically with aircooled 1.7ghz
cpu's).

at about $1000 extra per cpu and and extra 150 watt load that's not really
cost competitive with just buying more cpu's
