Yeah it was, this time we need to pull the finger out and get this going.

Id be happy to throw up my 8800GTx's for use with ln2. Im not to bothered if they die.

So what dates, and locations suit people? Do you want to do this at a lan? Or do you want to rent out a lab for the day ?

I have checked with http://www.polarice.ie/ And they are happy to sell me some dice, but they dont do ln2.

I have just set myself up an account with http://www.bocgases.ie/ And they are willing to to sell me ln2. How ever i do not have a price as of yet but they will be ringing me sometime today and ill update then.

Anti

Ooooookay. From boc it looks like i can only buy by the tanker load So if anyone wants to front £28,900 be my guest

But after doing some ringing around and pulling in a few favours ive managed to source us a company that is willing to sell me ln2 by the litre ( €2.50 ) but the minimum ammount they will deliver is 20L.

So thats the ln2 and dice sorted, the only other thing we will need is a container. The smallest i can get suitible for ln2 is 180L. And they are seriously expensive. So can any of you find a 20-30L container?

awhir

coffey flask

conzy

Yeah, wouldn't 20 or so 1 litre Stainless Steel flasks work? Just don't lick them

Anti

afaik you need a dual skin container. Or your hand will just freeze to it upon touch.

Flaccus

I'd be up for it. Just rebuilding my system at present. What's in my sig is not current.

conzy

20 flasks and 20 oven mits so

Great news Anti
In Greece i was renting a 30lt container for ~20euros per day. If we can find a similar solution that would be great.
In my opinion it is better to start with dice, to get the team members familiar with extreme cooling and then we can look for the ln2. For first time i think it is better. Keep in mind that the good overclocker is not the one who has only the best cooling. Tweaking is the key.

Can we find any sponsors? Or it is early to discuss about those things?

Anti

A website for overclocking-ireland or overclocking.ie will be set up soon With forums and the likes. WIll prob throw up a vent and ts2 server too as i have my own hosting already.

PogMoThoin

We (me + anti, awhir etc) did discuss the likes of this before last yr on modding.ie but it never went any further.

awhir

Oh and all ram companies need fast ram

but what are the chance's

Anti

The chance has to be pretty good to be honest. I doubt it will be for keeps though. More then likely a loan product.

I'm not really a 3dmark whore to be honest so have no idea what it would have got. Currently building a new system. Should be done by end of month.

yup, i remember dealing (messing) with this **** when i was in DCU like 5-6 years back.. good times

Freezing all sorts of stuff. But even with the safety gloves on, we could still feel the cold! :eek:

interesting anyway.. hmm..

Frederico

Surely anyone with enough money can quite easily crack 22k?

I mean if I had the cash I could just order all the bits and beat it?..
