After many many emails to most of the academic staff at the uni it seems...
I have finally managed to do it, I have access to LN2
Something I've wanted to do for ages, but just haven't been able to due to funds.
However, at 55p/litre, and with a 25l dewar I'm allowed to borrow for free, it just became possible
Any advice for a first timer?
Thinking of using eraser as insulation just because its what I've used before and its worked, tried liquid tape, and ended up with a dead mobo :( (using DI)

Looking at this for pouring?

sweet, thermo looks good too. Eraser ftw

[GeorgeStorm]

Does for me :/
Yeah, the chemistry department have a spare, which they said i can borrow if for short periods of time and given notice etc.
To begin with will be my i45, got an e6600, e2160, e4300 and e6300 here that I can get cold, all been done with my SS, but should still hopefully get some boints
Then I'm either getting some cedarmills and a p5b deluxe, or an i5 setup methinks.
Really pleased with the thermo find, i was thinking for a 1.8 I was going to have to spend 20ish, 12.50 ain't bad , although, if it does have a small neck, may look elsewhere.

i have flasks ..that i don't use anymore...i wonder if they fit the box from usps though.

as for eraser...ummm some parts get wet..you just have to increase eraser surface lol

[GeorgeStorm]

I only use 4 of my erasers atm when benching with the SS, got another 2, so hopefully that should be enough.
How much would shipping be though? (on the flask)

[DrNip]

Congrats on taking the plunge. What would be even sweeter is if they filed those things for ya.

[GeorgeStorm]

Mm, slight hitch on the dewar
To borrow it from the department I need my 'supervisors' signature saying I'm authorised to borrow and will take care of it etc
However, as it's no for uni work, i don't have a supervisor...
Will be asking lecturers tomorrow if they are interested in what I plan to do, I'm sure one will be
If not, I'll just have to buy, been offered a 25l for 200 shipped, so guess I'll just have to do that.

Sweet. Good luck George.

Hey - good luck George

Don't forget that with LN2 there's more to the insulation of the mobo than just eraser. You'll have to find some 1/2 closed cell foam insulation and or course shop towels to protect your board from the cold. eraser is for the water.
