If you scoll down you will find a link for Vince's email. You can get a price for an F1E which is the best pot out there for both DICE and LN2. Depending on copper prices you could expect to pay around $340 to $380. I will be ordering one of these pots soon. Also, you could borrow Supes copper DICE pot.

From time to time, some pot makers post their LN2 pots on ebay. You kinda just gotta watch for it but don't pick up a crappy pot for a ton of money. Take a close look at the pics and research the builders pot threads at various forums.

Kewl.....Thanks Guys!!!

I checked at a local place today and I can get LN2 no problem. I just gotta find a Dewar and nozzle.

Holy SHIT! You're really gonna save some bucks heading straight to the LN2 benching, u da man! Just remember to get the swing of it on air just before hooking up the ln2 stuff. Gotta watch for cold bugs and cold boots around -100c or so, once into windows or running u can pour more LN2 or so I've read, lol.

LOL.... I won't jump in quite that fast, I'll start with air most likely to get to know the system and move up from there and adding hardware along the way. I might start off with some really sad benches but i'll be learning more that way... might go threw air, water and DICE before I hit the LN2... If I can wait that long.

Like you've never done this before...

Well, a solid performing water loop will prolly run you alot of money rather than just picking up a decent pot and stopping by the grocer for extreme bench sessions. I dunno, I think ur doing it right by planning for the innevitible extreme stuff.

Wise words padawan. I just run air for daily stuff and to get a feel for the board and then slap the pot on to have a good time. Atleast skip the water stage and buy a quality pot. You could easily go over the cost of a Kingpin pot and a good deal on a dewar if a watercooling addiction developed.

Well..... it's gonna be more for the fun of doing it than anything else. I'm not rich but I can do it a little at a time. Water stuff here... a pot there, it won't take too long.

I gotta do a little research on water stuff and see whats the best out there and how to put it all together LMAO.... It will be the first time for any of this stuff but i'm havin fun!

Well it really depends on what you wanna put under water. If it's just the cpu and just for benching then don't waist your money on anything other than the swiftech or hwlabs rads. If you might put multiple things on water or might use it 24/7 go ahead and get the Feser or Black Ice Xtreme rads. For just a CPU loop you MAY see a 1-3c difference in temp but a huge price difference. The Feser/Black Ice are more expensive because the are double pass rads. The Feser has the widest fan spacing of the mix so you can run slower/quieter fans on it with no performance loss.

For CPU blocks, EK, Swiftech GTZ, or Dtek. All have their perks. GPU blocks I would only use EK, Danger Den, or Koolance. GPU blocks are quiet spendy but if you are the type to hold on to the hardware then go for it. You will see higher overclocks on the vga's with watercooling.

Jeffro if you need help with water cooling parts picking or assembly just let me know! I for one can understand the fun of watercooling and enjoying a good 24/7 overclock while maintaining good temps with low noise levels.
