400 liter LN2

Massman voltmodding and tweaking the graphic cards and motherboards.


He's not the only one bent over components with a soldering iron in his hands.


Filling up the dewars.


The tanks are showing the cold they're bearing with.


Preparation of the insulation.


Let's start the pouring!

Let the games begin.

So far there is quite some broken hardware, but not really world shocking things have happened. Remember the tube a page ago, not that much later it had to change system. And what the best way to de-freeze it: a paint burn gun.



The Belgian Team, Massman and Pt1t in action.


The crisis has struck hard in Belgium, in stead of the paint strip gun, a travel hairdryer is used here.


To start all over again.


An overview of one of the two bench desks.


Like already mentioned, no world records were shattered, but I do have to mention some Hungarian achievements. About the little thing that could, an LN 2 cooled Gigabyte ITX board with an Atom D510 overclocked to 2105 Mhz. Being limited to the hardware, some records were broken.

Casemods

Pieces of acryl etched, and then lid with leds.


This can also be put in a frame to have something special. Left to that you can see a satellite phone stripped, and filled up with an ITX board.


How did they get the board in bottle ? ;-)


Some nifty lid casemods








This one was huge !


But this one was bigger.


That's it for now. I don't think there will be a day 3 coverage, as in the afternoon and evening we'll go take a look in Madrid. The first rays of the sun are coming trough, so that means sangria ;)

The next update will focus on the last casemods, and also innovation / technology and robots. Already seen some cool thing, but that's for later.
