Hi,
I am new to Dry ice cooling and wanted know if dry ice cooling can also be used for everyday tasks such as word or playing games or does the dry ice evaporate too quickly???
I am from the UK and also wanted to know where I can buy cheap dry ice. let me know. thanks.

Not feasible for 24/7 cooling due to cost, bulk of dry ice required, and sub-ambient nature of dry ice.
you can get dry ice from BOC in the UK. or try and contact a local food distributor.

YouŽll get issues with condensation after a few hours, depending on your ambient temp and CPU Load.

Even with a huge pot, you're talking about run times of like 15 minutes between refills.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
gotta find that thread somebody had of a machine that autofilled the dry ice pot. I think it was an asian guy on these forums, maybe Lardarse did it? Was hilarious
Dice and LN2 aren't useful for a 24/7 running time.

haha i was thinking about a way of making a 24/7 dry ice machine, something that can contain and dispense it......lol id love to try it would be amazing lol
yea.. i need help... seriously......last time i went to the bathroom, it seems that the male has the pecker that pokes the female, right?
i'm confused...

You want to use dry ice on your pc to browse the net and use paint?
This isn't 1975, even the crappiest of computers from 5 years ago is more than enough rofl
Thats kinda what I was thinking. Maybe he thought the dry ice would overclock his typing skills too. Get that 30 page paper typed in 20 minutes.
i would do a bench session on ln2 at 6ghz+ if it would finish my Java projects faster
I was quoted Ł57 delivered by BOC for 10KG of 9mm pellets and thats pretty much the going rate from what I can tell

Even if you could retain the ice, the best you could hope for is a week. After that, its a gas.
Yes, that's quite expensive. In Poland we have DI for about 6-9PLN/kg, depends where to order (6,00 PLN = 1,3588 EUR = 1,9124 USD = 1,1634 GBP = 2,0712 CHF).
After a week it would be gas if it was kept in foamed polystyrene box. At CPU 10kg would be used in about 10h as far as I know, so there is not way for everyday use.

He he...Very expensive...I think.
I was looking for some thread, so I hope this is ok to post here...
20kg of dice is good for about how much benching? It will be only on i7 @ let say 5ghz
