anybody ever see this? This guy put his PC in a fish tank and filled it with Oil. Now thats how you keep a PC cool.

My first thought was the HDD and the optical drives. Guess he figured that out. Better him than me. At least we know it can be done, then again I didn't see anything showing it was actually working either, but I didn't search his site either.

Haha, that's awesome, and it makes so much sense in theory.
Have a little pump/filter to circulate the vegetable oil, and you no longer have to worry about cooling. The oil will keep the parts from (edit: ) oxidizing and collecting dust. Now some practical limitations... you'd have to add preservatives to the vegetable oil to keep it from turning crappy, and you'd probably have to replace it every so often. Why didn't he use ethylene glycol or glycerine? It'd be clearer, not that ugly yellow hue apparent in vegetable oil. You ask me for a hamburger.

Nevermind that oil + plastic = bad mojo over time.

Technically oil doesn't prevent oxidation...

its an interesting idea to keep a system cool, but really, what does it take to keep a 550mhz celeron and a geforce FX5200 from overheating?

Not to mention that any water that eventually gets in the oil will sink to the bottom and start to fry components.

You gotta love the way geeks make such a production out of cooling their over-clocked machines. You'd think they were enriching plutonium or something.
Notice the fan sitting in that gloop! I guess he's made sure it won't switch on. |
