as for taking it out later.. if i do this and take it back out in a month... can i still add new parts suck as a new video card.. and can it be cleaned back to its notmal state in any way?

I have added an upgraded video card and a TV tuner. The computer is used as my media center. As far as removing parts, you can wash the parts with alcohol and water. JUST MAKE SURE THEY ARE FULLY DRY BEFORE RE-USING THEM.

Seriously we don't need to hear about your educational experience this is not a hard build and its far from new I been doing it for 8 years.

One thing to add is to prevent sound from vibration glue a piece of rubber on the tray and then glue it to the tank.

This prevents some of the noise that can generate from the fans on your board. 50 cents of rubber for less sound :)

This was meant to be a school project for a class. The introduction was a necessity. This is a tutorial directed towards people that have never done this before. I understand people are mastered at certain things but please understand this was simply a tutorial for a class project.

@mantis350 should you remove the cmos battery before washing with water and alcohol? since with that in it leave some power going through the system?

@darkangle416 Mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity, you fail.

Don't forget a water pump and radiator that should give you something more like 24/7 usage. Now lets get started on that xbox360?
