Out of boredom I decided to post up some closer-up pictures of my block insulation setup for anyone that is interested.

As you can see from the pictures there are 3 layers of insulation that go on top of the paper towel gasket....2 under the block and 1 over it then the plywood hold down plate. It seems to be pretty good...the only place I saw frost was on the pump.

The first layer only allows the cpu socket to see through, the second only allows the face of the block....I think I'll redo that layer so only a cpu sized section is uncovered....and the third layer obviously only allows the hoses through. I had to either cut that one in half or make the hole bigger. I chose to cut it.

The last picture is my system sitting there with a dead cpu in it.

I hope you enjoy.
