You know, the $25 reward says it'll give you a killer mug. I want a mug to do all my killing for me.

Liquid Nitrogen cooled computers are the coolest.

   Bah, boring. The real way to go is having the computer suspended in a vacuum with stacked piezoelectric cooling units sucking every last vestige of warmth and non-electronic energy from the chamber.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

I sense a imminent derail.
But i'm the most awesome.
I suck all the warmth from my computer
WITH MY MOUTH!
Then my lungs recycle it.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

On topic, I just stumbled onto another Kickstarter that was funded and yet produced no product. It raised over $3000...and production was supposedly delayed in 2011, though I don't know why it was delayed as only backers get to read that post.

It seems failures are well-documented, yet they do not deter future Kickstarter projects.

EDIT: Extra zero removed.

I think there's an extra 0 there. Still though, that's a lot of money. Wonder what's up with that.

ITS JUST MINERAL OIL. Get the fuck over yourself.
Ah, but you see, it's very kool mineral oil. Also apparently very expensive mineral oil. >_>

Having had a friend who built a mineral oil cooled PC, mineral oil is not cheap to get in quantity, and you need an astounding twelve gallons.  The only way to get that much is to order in bulk through a veterinary supply company (mineral oil being used as a laxative, and if you want to give to to horses...you need a lot).

The kit that site offers is $600 and does not include a computer.

I remember somewhere in the 90's someone used tequila to cool their computer.

The folks over at Project E.U.N.U.C.H. and their remarkable accomplishment in accidentally overclocking a 33MHz 486 chip to 247MHz. Such things happen when tequila, vodka, and other hard liquors are used as a coolant for both computers and humans at the same time. Yes, it melted down quite spectacularly after boiling off the entirety of the alcohol (to the dismay of the testers) in approximately three minutes.

I'm surprised they had any tequila left for the computer after coming up with that.
