My brother was getting me a 230l Dewar through his work place. Its a big machine shop. He had it all set up through the purchasing agent and from what he tells me the plant manager put the stop on it. He was afraid of the liability of it leaving the plant.

Looks like i'l be paying the same as you Chuch. 160l tank for 160. I was going to get that 230l for 75 bucks. I am sooo bummmed.

That plant manager's a puss... All he has to do is have you sign a waver or invoice or anything declaring that it is your responsibility...

I agree Face. I had my brother ask him if i could just leave the 230L Dewar on the premisis and fill up a 50L from it to take home and he said no. Douchebag. I'd rather not get into it with him. I dont want to cause my brother any greif on his job. I'll just open my own business account at Airgas and suck it up.

So the question is how far does a liter get you so I can kind of form a bugdet of what type of cost's I will have on top of buying all the supporting hardware such as pots and dawars and all

so if you have a 35 liter Dewar how many hours of benching does that get you .... ?

It would be around 56 bucks to fill
Today with chips benching around -180oC is not the size of the dewar that maters anymore. The board will run into condensation problems sooner then in the past when you used to bench around -120oC tops.

So the condensation will shut you down sooner then a small 15L can be emptied If you have all your settings down right and your using on the cpu only this will be good for 4 hours of benching.

I agree thats not a bad price. But i was so pumped when i thought i could get that 230 for 75. I was a tough pill to swallow. But there are other good things about doing it this way. One is that its a business account and i can just write it off.

Yea i called to cancel mine because they were out of stock and i heard the next wave might be better batches. the guy told me it was already shipped out and they just hadn't changed my status on the web yet. I checked this am and it will be here on Thurs. I guess i'll give it a shot and see. If its a dud i'll just send it back.
