Is It Possible?
Is it possible to say, Replace all cooling tubes with flexible metal hoses and pour Liquid Nitrogen into the Reservoir and pump Liquid Nitrogen through a water cooling system or would it just make all the moving parts shatter and make a big mess?

Yeah, uh.. I don't specialize in liquid nitrogen, but I would assume the pump would be wrecked, and I would think liquid nitrogen running through a radiator is like, bad idea.
So, no.

Hmmm...I'm not sure that the Nitrogen would stay in it's liquid form all that long for this. If my understanding of Liquid Nitrogen is correct...once it reached a certain temperature (like -150 or something) it would "boil" into a gas and not provide the same cooling effect. Unless you can derive a way to keep the temp steady at a remarkable sub-zero...I don't see it lasting that long.

Also... the cooling effect of LN2 is from it boiling off... and taking heat away with it.

You want it to last so your pc doesn't turn into molten metal so be careful with this.
