Id like some opinions.... do you all think this was actually achieved with cooling in a freezer? I mean, they didnt moisture seal or even wrap anything, but hey, they do say that it does die messily.... and the spud powered server.... wow, these guys have a lot of time on their hands. But hey, its cool.

Very interesting, it almost freaked me out when I saw the picture on the page. That thing will over heat quick though (i think)

according to them it shattered all their bottles of alcohol, destroying all electronic components and leaving only the refridgerator unharmed. But if they arent full ofshit its very impressive. Play halflife on a 33mhz chip? what? Its something to think about though.... it really isnt that hard to water cool a machine, so why not liquid nitrogen or something along those lines? It would cost a lot more because the user would need the ability to regulate it very precisely but damn. if you could cool the hardware, chip especially, that efficiently you could probably overclock it insanely, except I think the upper bound is set by the distance between silicon atoms on the chip so this might just all be nothing but speculation out of my ass. I dont know, Im gonna check it out.

believe these guys i think it would be to hard to pull this off.
