How much do you pay for the 180L dewar?

I pay about $120.00 USD delivered for 180L of LN2 right now, Price keeps going up

almost 32K. nice job.

I had 4 cores disabled

3DMark 06 really benefits from having 8cores over 4 cores!

next 5GHz+ run with 8cores! and CFX 4870X2 900Mhz Core and 1000MHz RAM

I will have 2GHz DDR3 triple channel as well

before i was not running 3 sticks

If you're really in Boston, you're not looking at the right Airgas.

I have 5 airgases within 20 minutes of my house. Only one sells LN2. They want $5/L

There's a Praxair that charges $2.50/L for my 25L Dewar. But even ~$64 after taxes is a lot when you're making minimum wage . The guys were nice last time (my only time) and gave me ~18L when I paid for 5L. Any tips on getting/asking for a better rate without sounding like a ?

[Gautam]

I hear that it's bad on the west coast. :-/ Something about them not actually producing LN2 there but rather transporting it from the east...I never had to haggle. I went to an airgas in Massachusetts and got $1/l the first time, and every time after that. I also went to one in South Carolina and it was $1.25/l, first time, and the same every time. You might want to make sure that you're getting industrial grade and not medical grade...it should be a lot cheaper.

Thing with airgas is though, if you call up the number you get on the website it goes to some central office which will quote rates that are much higher than the ones you'll actually get. Pretty often if even you call the local branch up, they'll tell you a much higher price on the phone than what they give you when you walk in. :S

[eligray]

Forgive my relative ignorance about i7. Is it LN2 for 5100mhz?

[Newblar]

Here is the latest 3DMark 2006 Bench with the Xeon and EVGA CLASSIFIED motherboard:
and the New CPUZ Validation:

what benching system is complete without starcraft and warcraft 3? hahaha nice

[SlickSkyline]

Nice work V2-V3 , I saw from picture that you use Thermalright in that position on the motherboard , I like to know if this is the best way to put the cooler for a low temp ... or if you have some tips [ links ] in how to put that cooler for best cooling I will be happy.

Thanks and keep the good work.
