$269?!  heeckkk NO

Reason the Fluke's are so expensive is because there calibrated. As far as im concerned though you dont need a thermometer probe thats all that accurate. 1-3 degrees C doesnt really matter.

Here is one for $110 that I like. Has a stand so you can read it at a lower angle without holding it up. Dual probes FTW too. When I go DICE ill be measure temps with my dads AMP clamp\DMM that has a temp probe.

Its hard to find them with the range you want (for LN2 in most cases).

Cheaper yet doesnt give a temp range

There are also multi meters that support a temp probe.

This is the one i have that i will use for my DICE tests: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4FKP6?Pid=search

Takes 2 K-type probes (and comes with them), and measures down to -200*C accurately.

The one above looks nice, has two probes.

I use a Mannix dt307 it's simple and about $70 bucks has great temp range and very accurate.

Hey Nate, buy me one too

If you want a wide range of meters the here you go.

i'll vouch you Extech, i love the pair of TM200's i have. battery life is really good with these units and they are more than enough for benching purposes. my only beef is i can't figure out a way to disable the automatic shut off after 5 minutes or whatever the safety sleep is...but it really doesn't affect me much when benching.

nice setup you got there 3oh6

I loved the i5 6 series review you put up on XS, it was quite entertaining to read, though a little sad considering i just picked up a i5 650

I think I want to build a phase change.  I wonder how much parts I can salvage from a 5000 BTU AC?  I am thinking just saw off the evap and replace it with a block, but somehow I think there will be considerably more involved with it...
