Then it all comes down to finding a good deal, which is similar to how it is on LN2. Some pay upto 7€/l, some pay as low as 0.3€/l.

The quantities you need for LHe are a bit higher, though. 500L would be enough for a few decent runs; but that's already 2500€ on cooling. Maybe when Giga or Asus start playing 'who has the biggest' they'll get on the LHe train
Won't the Helium shortage potentially limit this? Source: http://www.gasworld.com/news.php?a=5727

I just heard about this at work today. We asked for 500L and the supplier said they could delievery maybe 10L...

EDIT: At least here in the US. Not sure if they have the same issue in the EU.
