LN2 Cool and Entire PC w/ Giant LN2 Pot

User Ladidadida on Discord brought up an amazing idea of liquid cooling an entire PC chassis by setting the PC in a giant LN2 pot of sorts. Jayztwocents already tested cooling with LN2 vapor, if you could suspend the PC above a pool of LN2 and cool the entire thing you'd never have issues with condensation, since the ambient is the temp of the LN2. Obviously you couldn't use anything with fluid bearings, fans etc, but what if? Any ideas? Should there be a video made? This sounds pretty sick.

The components on the motherboard cannot function at super low temperatures like a CPU or GPU can.

Thermally insulate them? Just leave the CPU and GPU exposed to the LN2 vapor. If you could thermally insulate them well enough that their own heat keeps them warm enough to function wouldn't it still work?

Well that's what people already do...

Put a block on the CPU and GPU for the LN2 and insulate the rest of the mobo.

No, like put the entire PC in a chamber of LN2, not just a pot on the CPU and GPU.

That's just a waste of LN2 then, since it's only being used to cool the CPU and GPU directly.

Might as well apply it directly to only the CPU and GPU.

It's easier to insulate around a LN2 pot than the entire freakin PC.
