Yeah and 500g with an approximate density of 13.5 g/cm^3 gives a rough volume of 37 odd millilitres for $31. My WC loop takes about 1.5 L to fill. So we're talking about $1200 to fill the system once, I'm assuming that's also USD meaning that's like $2000CAD. And I could buy a few vapochills or maybe a good supply of LN2. Basically I don't think, for the possible gains of a few deg C closer to ambient, it's anywhere near ... reality.

Then again, I guess after playing with the mercury for a while it might seem like a good idea. You know it kicking your ass and all.
