...They would come up with equally lame results as putting dry ice onto your CPU to cool it down.

BTW, the thing about cats is that they have dignity. Dogs do not. You can tell from this simnple thought experiment:
Kick a dog, and kick a cat. The dog will come back for more; the cat will rip your curtains to shreds, then leave, never to return. Now tell me, which is the superior animal?

I know, the adage is that geeks do it, "because they can."
But geeks (new geeks, high school age, not those hard core, old school, i-remember-the-altair types) I think are also inherently lazy and with summer coming, they also sleep late (because they can). Imagine sleeping through your computer's feeding time to find your GPU in a puddle at the bottom of the case.

Not really. An overclocked Crusoe would still be slow as shit. And as for the PowerPC, I can just imagine the scenario
Ricer1: Yay! The Liquid Nitrogen cooler has got my G5 down to -180C! Time to start cranking up the multiplier!
Ricer2: Apple haven't provided a way to increase the multiplier.
Ricer1: Well never mind, just crank up the bus speed!
Ricer2: Apple haven't provided a way to increase the bus speed.
Ricer1: Shit. The condensation's just nuked my CPU. Oh well, better order another one.
Ricer2: Apple won't let you order a new CPU.
Yes, I can see that catching on in a hurry.
