I remember someone making this topic awhile ago, so I'll repost the method since people would like to get into the steam server.
Put it in window mode. While you are in queue you need to right click the top of the window. This will stop the timer to DC you (make sure the visual effects aren't happening on the window to confirm it is "frozen"). Periodically you can check how far you are along in the queue. Sucks that your computer is practically useless while doing this.
Got me in with a 900+ queue.
