Poor mans liquid nitrogen idea
So what if you bought a few bottles of 99% Rubbing Alcohol (Ethanol) that has a freezing point of about -110 C or Antifreez and just add dry ice or normal ice to it until it becomes really cold? Kinda like the idea of normal ice + salt but better?

dry ice is pretty cheap and you can make a pot for about 15 bucks

You have just figured out all there is to a dry ice run.

Dry ice isn't liquid... So to cool the CPU you would need to cut and trim the sides and edges to fit on the CPU. The poor mans liquid nitrogen I've seen before and made before for fun. And that stuff is very sticky, so cleaning it would be a nightmare.
