Would Dry Ice base cooling systems work?
Just out of curiosity... Would Dry Ice base (solid carbon dioxide) cooling system much more effective and *safe* than water cooling system?

It would work. It's not an easy setup though.
I'm sure if you google it you can find some articles, and even videos of people getting sub-zero temps. EDIT: Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swo6TmyDnGc

I would be very impractical. It's more effective if it's done right but I don't know about how safe it would be. Getting anything that cold will cause condensation which isn't good around electronics.

It's like a drag racer...lots of power and speed but it does not last very long and is totally impractical for everyday use.
