also i need some advise on ram ( ddr2 ) i was thinking of just some ocz 1066 ram 2x2gb kit

i am already looking into the dice pot, but do want a NB one too.
ill be getting this one as my cpu pot @ the end of the month
i think its good enough at a amazing price.

also could you guys give me a few tips, i saw somthing about nail polish, and insulation

anyone could tell me where to buy these things:

temp meter

black thing around the cpu socket ( dont know what its called )

gray thing over the motherboard

and also how long does the dice cubes last?
do they eventually turn into water, or does it evaporate?
if it turns into water how do i get it out of the dice pot while benching?

does dice conduct eletricity?

EDIT anyone knowa where i can get dice in in the uk, only place i found charges £50 for 10kg, would i need that much ?

Dude... you need to use google...

Dry ice subliminates. That means it goes from a solid to gas. So there is nothing left over in the pot.

The gray thing on the mobo is kneadable eraser. The black thing is armaflex insulation. You can get a temp probe on ebay.

You can get kneadable eraser at an art store and the armaflex at a hardware store. (In the U.S.)

For a mobo i would suggest rampage extreme, It kicks ass with ln2 and dice.

After that i would suggest the Biostar Tpower i45. (although with the Tpoiwer make sure to insulate really good, because it doesnt like cold)

Nice little kit, I haven't seen those before. There's a good little guide here in the stickies for proofing with that eraser.

You need to use a little acetone in your pot to, that lets it get a lot colder as the acetone evap's, you can get it here in quart metal cans at hardware stores for $5 or 6 bux. I like to use a little brass rod to stir it around and get the DICE all down to the bottom, take it out after you stir or it will wick away some of the cold. I just use about a 1 ounce shot glass to get started and then add a little more acetone as needed. It will foam up so don't add to much at once.

I use a aluminium dryer zip-tube with a fan in it as a exhaust to keep the fumes blown out of a window, tone fumes can get pretty bad if you don't exhaust it or you can just do it out in your garage to. I always turn my exhaust fan on before I set it over by my pot in case I get a little spark off the fan when it first spins up.

EDIT: Your DICE just evaps and you need to add more as you go along.

I would advise against doing it outside because of condensation.

There is a awesome insulation guide here.
