If I could manage to put vapochill in a system around $2000, would it be worth it? I would have to sacrafice a lot, but there would probaby be a massive performance gain...

AMD or Intel system?
I ask because it seems you can get the Northwood P4's too cold. There's a thread in the Intel CPU forum about Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome and the common thread seems to be extreme cooling.
Personally, I don't think its worth it. $2000 would buy you between three and five top of the line procs, if prices remain where they are now. Go three or five CPU generations ahead and I think you'll have a lot more power than you would by freezing a 2002 CPU.
