Default My Wife is Gonna Kill Me

Ordered.

I ordered the dewar and transfer device separately from them and it was actually cheaper than their combo special.

Insane waste of money, I know (no i7 975 for me). But a big reason for getting LN2 is culinary and I'm not psychologically comfortable combining the things I'm finding on ebay with my food. I've already obtained one dewar from ebay that isn't going near my food. Turns out it also needs refurbishing. No wonder it was such a steal...... Then it hit me that I've wasted about 60 hours over the last 3 weeks researching and hunting for a deal. That's time I could have spent playing with the kids, building something, or sleeping. Time to just pull the trigger and move on.

Let's see, with weekly ice cream making it should justify the cost in.....well....never.
