I'm not a nerd. I'm a geek.
Nerds have book smarts.
Geeks are good with electronics and whatnot.
Dweebs are wannabes.

Hmm... They had better luck than the last group I saw who posted their N^2 cooling attempts to the internet.

make a search on the net for LN2, there's cooling systems based on liquid nitrogen (LN) for sale. However, they look like coffee machines, and it's just insane to mount something like that on your processor.

Geez, there's really crazy people on earth.

When I was doing my degree in Chemistry I had to use a notoriously unstable PC to study X-Ray crystal diffraction patterns. The problem was that the computer would overheat after a while and crash.

Basically we just shoved the thing in a big plastic bag, pumped out the air and poured in a little liquid nitrogen. Worked fine after that :D
