THG have really went to the extreme this time around.
Take a look at their Fanless/Pumpless System Cooling
Anyone here thinking of doing the same for your trusted PC?
Anyone brave enough?

Cooking Oil to cool your PC? I don't know about that?

I wonder if the computer is on, would it be enough to heat up the oil and do some cooking—like lumpias? He he he. . .

I was reading about it... Apparently it's perfectly safe, but there was some deal about harddrives not liking all the oil, I forget exactly what. I'd do it if I had parts to spare and the space..

Power supply makes noise. What the heck is the point without doing the PS? What a mess anytime you need to change something...

It's also a giant impedance mismatch for the motherboard and the data cables.

There have been a number of "total immersion" testbeds. I remember that some industrial freon-like compound was found to be ideal. No evaporation, non-conductive, did not facilitate unwanted capacitance, etc.
It cost a bit more than cooking oil, but was transparent, about as dense as water, and not prone to fouling.

Flourinert?

You really should use transformer oil. Cooking oil goes "Stanky" after a couple of months.
Florinert is the best to use, but at $500 a gallon it is reserved for psychos and high end computers such as the Cray-II.
Saphire was an intresting alternative, but it evaporates at a low tempreture.
