Really want to do this, perhaps for a media server as it looks awesome! May be a little project for later in life when I have some money!

The fish tank option looks much smarter then the old silver oven dish filled with oil.

Smart looking system I think. Looks great, especially their 2nd system.

I sooo wanna give this a go!! I have plenty of old Hardware around to test with, and a couple of Aquariums

Wasn't there someone on here last year that did one in oil and got it to boot (just) I remember a request thread for bits.. ?

I loled when I saw the chips, he must be so proud to be able to say not only does my pc run submerged in oil but it can cook chips too

They should add some tropical fish to the aquarium...for added amusement.

Anyone found a decent place to buy mineral oil in bulk for this?

MikeHunt79 · 6 Apr 2009 at 22:07

Try a car spares shop... Does it have to be mineral oil?

Kennysevenfold · 6 Apr 2009 at 22:11

would like to see an upgrade...

RIZZEE · 6 Apr 2009 at 23:33

i know theres a pc submerged in non-coducive water, which imo is a lot cooler than this

Now thats a truley unique idea, 2 in 1 solution cook your chips and play games at the same time, perfect.

Electronics and conductive fluids dont work very well together.
Non-conductive and Electronics dont mind each other at all
