Hi everybody.

I just need anybodys oppinion before I'll start the resarch for my new hobby: I intend to buy a small deep-freezer, fill it up with fine oil and thereafter I will throw my old Pentium III 450 MhZ down there. I have been looking at some deep-freezers that actually was made for autocampers, and they proclame that they can reach -25 celcius after have been turned on a cupple of days.

My logic tells me that oil won't have any effect on the electricity (This project would not have been possible with water)and I can't see any problems about my cpu should work fine down there.

Now, I am a totally newbee (have just signed up here today), I'm only imagining things now, haven't actually tried even a small overclock. Does anybody here think that it might work? At -25 celcius, what cpu-frequenze do you think I can reach by doing this? Is there an absolute maximum I can reach with my Pentium III 450 MhZ?

It looks to be a great site, this. I will probably stick around here in the future.

Regards from David.
