We got an interesting idea the other day. Wanted to add something different to the Computer repair shop so, we found this old 500mhz system and tore it apart. One of the problems with this old computer was that the case for it was designed so small. Air flow was a big problem, and the lady that used to own the computer never realized that the dust inside totally choked the processor fan. So for like 3 years the systems was running hot.

Of course it wasn't like we could go and get a new fan for the systems because like I said it was a really old computer, so we went over to the hair dresser ladies across the hall and got some clipper oil to lubricate the fan again, well it worked!

Only problem with that type of oil though is that it gets used up and not long after the little fan was having trouble again.

So my buddy Tim had this idea of submerging the system in oil to keep the fan constantly lubricated.

  • Replacing ANY part (be it Hard Drive, Graphic Card, whatever) has to be a bitch.

  • I don't think you are supposed to submerge the hard drive...

  • but once it was submerged you didn't need the fan anymore anyways, right?

  • lol u build your computer in a aquarium

  • @jkmyagoo its simple, you don't even need to make additional heatpipes for your hardware. You just need to set up watercooling pipes in the bottom of your aquarium. WARNING!!! You're doing it at your own risk, because of condensate you need to secure cooling pipes.

  • LMFAO, I can't wait to see the FPS on Minesweep!

  • song is badass!

    hail the jilted generation

  • @MrSbobify yeah... but oil is cheap to set up in the first place... just take the stuff out of the case, whack in in a cheap-ass aquarium and buy some mineral oil... xD

  • LOL! Go for watercooling dude, water leads heat 100x better!

  • thats pretty gay dude.. srsly you prolly say this is an old computer but im sure this is your main computer, go get a job u scrub >_>
