I got incensed recently about ripping a fridge/freezer apart and using
it for cooling, and did actually come up with a theory that would work
but that required far more electro/mechanical skill than I could lay
claim too. However after scouring the net for a while I found a
company that seems to have come up with a similar idea (I took an
evening to theorise it and they seem to have taken $5million to
fulfill it...) but if you're interested in super-cooling, the address
is:

http://www.kryotech.com/

The main drawback to what supercooling might allow is that
motherboards only go to a certain multiplier, possibly therefore not
allowing fulfillment of the full potential of such a system. Then
again I don't know just how fast the chips could be pushed (anyone?)

Hopefully someone will come up with a radical (and v. cheap) idea to
supercool chips.
