Aquarium Full of Oil For PC Cooling

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

JaredOfEuropa writes "Forget fancy watercooled CPUs or complicated heat pipes. Annoyed with the noise of the forced-air cooling in his computer, this guy simply dumped his entire motherboard in an aquarium filled with mineral oil. (coral cache). No modifications were necessary; he even left the fans running to keep the oil moving about. The only thing not submersed in oil is the hard disk."

    Just wanted to congratulate the poster on putting a link to a coral cache instead of hammering some poor undercapable web server into the ground. Kudos to you poster!
