I know you people see alot of shit online, so this might be old. But its kewl.

Mineral Oil Submersion Cooling is where you take your electronic shits of your comp, and place it in a vat of mineral oil. (Excluding your CD drives, and also powersource I believe) The Mineral oil is as harmless as air, and it really cools down your comp. BUT you'd only need to do this if you super-mega-overclocked your system.

Puget Systems has all the stats on this stuff. Thers info, and video on their site here.

In reality tho, it looks kinda stupid, cause when you need to move your pc, change some RAM, or plug in some new shit, it would be a hassle of the un-needed kind.

Edit: It looks like they did sumberge the powersource.

I kinda like the mineral oil cause it stays clear, is a gentle laxative, and looks really close to water with the fishtank bubbler in it.

I wondur if one could add some other oils, like some synthetic car oils for some extreeeem overclocking action.

Or add some food coloring to change to colour of the mineral oil.
