My first PC project, and definitely worth the bragging rights.

lol omg.. the only thing i can think of is how in the world will you change your hardware with all the oil!

mmmmm....deep fried computers... [img]graemlins/homer.gif[/img]

A very impressive machine... scientifically assembled, too :D

It's a cool project, but no offence. It's been done before (many times)

edit: i mean.. who would like to see a nice running PC to be drowned in oil.. wooo..

Good work, dude, but I sure wish you the best of luck. It's all well and good until the oil gets sullied. Be super extra careful.

? Would it really work in climates where the average day temperature exceeds 30°C? I can see it working in cooler climates, where the air temperature helps to dissipate the heat from the oil, but not in the hotter regions.

Not to mention part replacements...

It will help in any climate. As long as the pc will run when cooled normally, it will run better when cooled this way. All you're really doing is making the heat transfer more efficient.

Cool idea but I'd worry about the oil going rancid... cause that'd doesn't smell good. If you want to avoid rancid oil and improve your overclocking just cool the oil to refrigerator temps (not enough to have it solidify on you though). That would be some cool tech.

You could also fill it with an inert fluorocarbon. That way you could have the hard drive and power supply in the case as well, unless I am mistaken (of course, both should be sealed). The fluorocarbon has good heat transfer capabilities so couple that with an aluminum case and you have a silent and efficient computer.
