Is liquid nitrogen legal to buy in the UK?

Its not meant to though, its only gotta last a few hours to get some stupid clocks/benches then its done its job, dont think anyone is intendeding for it to be used on a long basis.

Think Bazx had his for about 4 days just sat in a dewar dont remember how much he lost from it though.

Average while benching is about a litre every 10minutes. Which is why its handy to have more than one person as the tube needs topping up often
 
LN2 was inexpensive last I checked, it's really rather cheap. The only problem is storing it efficiently, that's the expensive part; although you can store it in a thermos for a few hours.

Got a dothan 730 just gotta wait for my new tube to arrive from Germany then get the Dice,

Might whack the prommie on the x800 aswell and see how she goes.

Got a guy who can get me free LN2 aswell so thats an option for the future if he can supply enough
 
you can always try a chemical supplier but they generally do not supply small amounts, companys like aldrich or possibly call them and see what they can suggest. As a chemistry undergrad still getting to play with it for free :D
 
i went to cambridge uni the other day and they have HUGE tanks of it outside the physics part of the uni.

Ive been looking at the pentium m's too. Got my eye on a dothan 750 :D, then need to get the asus mobo and attachment.
 
How much you looking to spend, theres a fella selling a 780, p4gd1 (rare as rocking horse poop nowdays, and a ct-479 for 500euros. Under LN2 that'd have you hitting well over 3.5ghz, these babies do over 3ghz on air and with the pci-e mobo and your 7800 you'd be rocking with some sweet 3dmark scores

Tis a bargain of the century

Get a CO2 fire extinguisher and empty the contents out of that ;)

The CO2 in a fire extinguisher is under very high pressure. Its liquefied due to the pressure. Take the top of and it'll all blow out rather spectacularly and you'll be left with an empty fire extinguisher.
 
If you fire it off into a container you should be left with some solid, very cold CO2 (until it evaporates)

EDIT: I didnt mean take the top off, i meant actually point it into something and use it...
 
thanks for the heads up marv but i really want to spend as little as possible but still be using pretty decent kit, (not some crappy celeron or something). Its just for a bit of fun.

Ive got my main rig at 3gig anyway with mach 2 gt.
 
Bah i'd be willing to sell you my stuff when your ready if i have enough ontop to go for that other stuff as i'd love it,as Tom can testify to since i talk about it lots :)

Heres some pics of my tubes at the moment, gpu tube is all ready and insulated, the cpu isn't at the moment, but gonna probably whack the prommie on the cpu tomorrow and use ice water in the gpu tube on the x800 to see how it fares early on.
