Total Liquid Submersion PC

son, what did you do with mamma's cooking oil?
 
Had a lecture on this in an engineering module some time ago. Cooking oil (or salad dressing) works very well. All you need to do is to keep the hard drive dry. Can't remember why, but was something to do with it needs air (or something. Like I said, can't remember).
 
There is a local shop with this done and it looks pretty cool. Even has a Skull in it. Will see maybe go and take a picture and show u all.

Well, I once built a computer submerged in sunflower oil with a Pentium 3 and an aquarium...

It worked, but the oil went frot.

Oops meant Skull.
 
are there fish that can survive in the oil? that would look cool.

OK seriously though, is liquid cooling less noisy than air cooling? Does the little pump generate more noise?

Unless it's some fancypants goop that happens to be the right kind of oxygen delivery medium that ALSO happens to be non-conductive, no ..but it would be schweet!

A pump submerged in the liquid its busy circulating gets damn hard to hear, even when you scale it up to outdoor pond sizes; the water/fluid/oil absorbs the motor/impeller noise.

Ditto!!

Then I saw the price tag ... $5560.00 and reality smacked me back to my hunk of junk desktop ....

Maybe we should start a DIY version? I have a bunch of hardware available for testing purposes, just the time that is the problem...
