rmad a 8800gs to xfx and there sending me a 9600gt boo

****? That's not an upgrade. 8800gs has 96sp and 9600gt has 64sp. An 8800gs > 9600gt. That's retarded. You should complain to them...

yea I got to get some dice gear just found out one of my neighbors owns an ice cream supply shop. Dice is only 10 bucks a pound how long would that last. Its gotta last 5 or 6 hours huh. Ive worked with it before but never like this.

$10/lb is not a very good price. At this place: http://www.continentalcarbonic.com/dryice/sales.php it's as cheap as $1/lb. They have different locations around the country. Hopefully one is close to you.
 
Also, based on this thread: http://www.411overkill.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=3581 , 10lbs of DICE will last about 5 hours. Of course YMMV a bit with this, depending on the pot and the conditions around you.

is that a typo or did you mean to say 10 pounds last 5 hours

Wow 10 bucks a pound? It's $1.29 at publix here. (Boca Raton, Florida) The only thing holding me back from doing DICE is my parents.

And yeah Rabid that would be a lot of fun. Now I just need a spare rig to run the conference.. Hmm. I have an old POS hp but something's wrong with it. The colors are weird.. And I don't have a monitor for it.. But I suppose I could just run it via VGA and run my main via DVI, then just switch if needed.. Hmm. Might just spend a few $ and make an itty bitty acrylic rig.. That's tempting. Could do a lot of webrowsing on it.. I think I'm rambling on a bit here. lol.

This is by far the longest thread I've ever seen

You guys wouldn't mind someone from another team at the bench party would ya

No, that is what it says in the thread. Remember now that the DICE will be used up a ton faster than if you let a chunk just sit out on a table. You are purposely increasing the speed of the sublimation of the DICE by a lot, to cool your cpu (and/or gpu). The heat of the cpu goes into the pot, then the DICE, causing to sublimate the DICE faster, but in the process, exchanging its heat with the DICE, therefore keeping the cpu very cold.
 
Think of it like regular ice. If you put regular ice on the table, yes it will melt, but will take a while. If you put a heat source touching it, it will melt x-times faster, depending on the heat temperature, but in the process, cool down the heat source. A good example would be holding a piece of ice. It melts much faster in your hand than on a table because your hand is x-times warmer than the table. Your hand in the process gets very cold though, from the heat exchange between your hand to the ice(heat going out of your hand into the ice).

I would just steal my mom's laptop for a day. It has a built-in webcam. (i don't have my own)
