Id be down for this! I would vote for extreme cooling as well.
We could have different cooling brackets maybe?
I'd have to disagree with extreme cooling; even water-cooling is a bit much for some teens and would keep the less-privileged from competing (just like many national/international competitions). I know for a fact that I'd have gotten more than an earful if I tried to build or use cascade, chiller, DICE, or liquid nitrogen, not to mention everything but DICE is too expensive.

Extreme cooling isn't too expensive... And if you aren't old enough to understand the dangers of "cold" then you probably shouldn't be posting around in xtremesystems for overclocking!
^THe cooling itself isnt expensive. But for some its tuff to deal with dead hardware. So they dont wanna risk it.

Dangers with dice and ln2? Err there isn't many. I've got ln2 on my hands and feet all i've got it little chilling feeling. What comes to dice well it aint' that cold if you're quick enough. I've picked about 2kg of dice hails and put it into dice pot by bare hands, well you can't really squeeze the dice or let it have a good contact with your skin otherwise it might sting a little.

The only hazard of extreme cooling is gas buildup; a simple window-fan (if you're fully indoors) or a box fan (if you're in a garage) works wonders.
