I have a pressurized 25L dewar that has about 10-15L in it (I'm guessing based on weight) and a 30L that is basically empty (maybe 1L at the bottom keeping it cold).

If anyone knows of a source for LN2 in the North Bay open on a Saturday that ain't $6/L let me know. I can try to stop by on the way over.

I did pick up 60lbs of DICE pellets already.

Does anybody have reducers for hose? I think my chiller uses 1/2" but I'm not sure.

Xlong, I invented my own reducers today. Use like half an inch to an inch of 3/8" tubing over the 3/8" barbs, and then slip 7/16 or 1/2" tubing over the inchlong segment of 3/8" tubing. Then secure with hose clamps. I have two of these Fittings in my system, and they're both leakfree after an hour or do of testing :)

PS I've got 60% antifreeze in my loop to keep it from freezing down to -52c :D

seems crazy to have a phase system and water loop all dedicated to the NB LOL

ok if you still need my addy let me know. i will have a sign at the front of my property. When you come up out drive way it is made to drive to the top, pull around and park on the side on the driveway heading down. very simple.

I 'll bring my chiller just in case there is enough acetone...I am also bringing my GTX coppertop + 2x MCW60's. Figure, we can fire up the chillers if we need to cool GPU's without LN or if we run out.

*While prepping my MIIF tonight, I was caught wondering....does anyone have NB mounts for their mousepots..? I just realized I dont have an extra NB cooler on hand :eek:

I could stop by home depot and pick up a gallon of acetone if you guys don't have enough.

Sheesh.

Was gonna go to bed early tonight but rounding stuff up taking longer than I thought. Least my F1 EE arrived today (ebay guy took 10 days from purchase to even ship it.....).

And it turns out I had to drill temp holes in my new GPU pots.

Which brings to mind another thing. Anyone have extra thermometers? I only have one dual probe right now.

I'll bring my non contact. It only goes to -20.

I don't know what time I'll get there. Maybe 12:30 it's tough to get me out of bed before 11.

Patch: I had to drill out a hole in my F1EE today. Talk about terrifying... You're leaving 1/16" or less between the drillbit and the CPU contact base on the $300 pot :O . Holes should come pre-drilled, eh?

Guys: Well it's now 4am, meaning that I worked nonstop (no meals either) from 3pm to 4am. My chiller is charged and working, my water loop is all good, my PC is built, and the RE is clocking like mad.

Time to get up in 5 hours... *insert zombie smiley*

PRAISE the lord for caffiene lol. I'm gonna be consuming tons of caffiene pills tomorrow

EDit: About probes, I have one probe in my F1EE, and the other mounted semi-permanently to my DD unit. Then I have a really crappy LCD thermometer on my NB. My thermometer itself is a Fluke 51 (dual probe) :)
