cool down to ~0 Degrees Kelvin.

Now, Networm. Speaking as a physicist (I was trained as a
physicist at an early age before I knew I was a computer
guy), come again? If you have a way to cool the case to
0 Kelvin (that is, absolute zero) then (a) you have rewritten
all the laws of thermodynamics, (b) you have solved all of the
world's superconducting problems, and (c) you have a
commercial bombshell on your hands and I Want In!

BTW, liquid
Helium goes superconducting at 4 degrees Kelvin, not to mention
exhibiting macroscopic quantum effects, which are downright
eerie, such as flowing up and out over the edges of a container
just because there's a probability it could be on the outside.
Who needs TV with these thoughts for entertainment, eh?

Or perhaps it was 0 Celsius or, as we old guys would say,
Centigrade (i.e., freezing, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the
most sensible scale of them all)? <GGG>
