Aight well ive got a question. I Dunno but ive heard that you can get LN2 from welding shops. I and i think i can cause my neighbors dad works for "Miller" its a welding company and i remember him saying he had to transport the stuff one time. You think since ive known him since i was a kid he could hook me up with some? :confused: cuz that would be sweet for some OCing :banana4:

it depends if he could actually get a "Dewar" flask, these are used for transporting LN2, to keep it in liquid form and are very expensive.
if you manage to get a nice sized Dewar, maybe 10litres you'd be in business, filling a dewar doesn't cost much at all.

hmm lets see ... maybe they have dewar's there? or no cuz i know that they ship and transport the stuff so maybe he has something i can borrow or something? iono ill ask him and see what he says :)

Dewar flasks arent that expensive, only about $100....

oh yeah my bad, but by the way i got my friend to make me a container... is 1 inch too thick for a base plate? Its aluminum sadly, cuz i havent found any copper around my area. (Raleigh NC US) but i hope to find some soon... worst comes to worst ill just use the big copper plates used with my air system i have right now. that would work but if i screw up gotta by new cooling, which wouldnt be too bad i need to go up from air anyways... probably water till i finish my chiller... :)

onlinemetals.com is your friend.
Aluminum will work ok.... not great, but better than air or water cooling :D
