3. You cannot 'resist' the freezing effects, it is condensation that you must really worry about, because that is water, and water is bad when in direct contact with electricity.
4. It is very expensive.

I could go on and on about why not to do it, but you will be the one that chooses to in the end.

Actually i heard it was relatively cheap ... like a few dollars a liter
