Tom's hardware oil cooled PC

[Paul]

Yep that's right... submersing your mobo and almost entire computer into oil...

I did a little more looking... apparently the better of the cheap options is mineral oil, with no additives (sometimes they add scents and some small water content which is bad as it makes the oil slightly conductive and kills some part of your pc).

Still.... could be kinda cool. Molson you got any old computers you'd be willing to sacrifice to science?

Looks interesting, but I wonder...would your cds/dvds be all slimy when you took them out?

[Paul]

the parts that you don't submerge are power supply and all disk drives- (flopppy, CD/DVD and HD) the mechanical parts don't do too well when filled with oil.

that's fuckin' sweet! hmmm... my old computer is getting kind of ... old ... >.>

EDIT: heh, upgrades would be a bitch!

Okay. Yeah, I would have thought that would be kind of...messy...at the least, even if it did work.

This one might be a little easier, plus, RAM Drive!
