Mineral Oil Submerged Computer

you made me do this.

Ehehehe... Cool... :).

No regular tap water wouldnt work dude. Unless you use distilled. But that even would become quickly conductive due to impurities in the tank same is true for so called "non conductive liquids"

you could also get a tank big enough and remove the cooling element from an AC unit, set it to low, and submerge that leaving in just the coils. worked for my dads friend. all you need to do is skim water off the top every day and it stays a nice 40F.

I tried it myself with my gaming PC when I first built it. It got so hot that the tank cracked, and oil was everywhere. It did work, believe me, but you'd have to get a non-plastic tank or it will crack and one point. (I bought the same tank they had)

Well its an aquarium amount of oil, at about room temperature or just below, and the components won't heat it up that fast. Besides, its also loosing heat too. Remember, you're computer usually runs any where from 30 C. to 55 C. (average) So, after a few weeks it might become a problem, but you shut it down now and then right?

itl work man. like u said, its air tight.

whats stopping the oil from just heating up?
my speakers broke so maybe i missed it

An SSD hard drive would work fine in the oil.

My question is, how do you go about cleaning the slime off of the hardware when you remove it?
