Actually, we do care about that. That's why:

- global rankings are split up in 1/2/3/4 categories
- points are based on weight (single gpu = more competition = more points)
- all leagues (except pro oc) are mostly based on hw points

But, there are limits to how we can organise the leagues of course.

filling my 26l dewar will cost me no less than 150€ plus 2 hours round-trip, if i want to go and find Linde the closest one is about 450km so go figure out

putting into balance the house, fees, food , etc, 200€ or 300€ max is what i can save every month if i have no extra charge, then go waste half of that for an evening LN2 session when you find out the board or CPU has cold bug

LN2 is very expensive for me, that's why i only see it at Campus Party and such

It could be worth it to invest in something like a SS, then - I don't know IB, but SB didn't need more than for high speeds.

Good news and bad news.

Bad news: Linde doesn't seem to be an option, primarily because there does not seem to be a possibility to get a discount across countries (no way to pool LN2 usage to drive the prize down).
Good news: Air Products (http://www.airproducts.com/) did respond sort of positively.

So, now I'm going to gather the necessary data to check what the possibilities are. Stay tuned!

The conversation I had sounded rather positive. I think the most important of this 'deal' is meeting the expected LN2 usage. Which means that people might have to commit to a specific deal (read: sign contract with minimum purchase)
