Sooo, i got this itch to completely encase a computer (older and rather
crapy one at that) in silicone, and make it water tight, and fill it up with liquid nitrogen. I believe that it has been done before, but i am not quite sure. If nothing else it will give me something to do for about a week in my freetime.


Any feed back welcome

i wouldnt mind getting my hands on some liquid nitrogen...
(anyone remember jim carry as fire marshall bill from way back when? :))

how you ever gonna get it open if you seal it up?

and its probably not necessary to apply liquid n2 to all the components, just the chips, so it may be a waste with all that surface area, and it may just crack the board in half from the thermal shock?

hummm, looks like it is a bit more involved then i had previously thought of... and i wasn't gonna worry about getting it opened ever again... but oh well, maybe later on.
