Misc. Ramblings

Do not try this at home. I repeat, do not try this at home. The folks over at Toms Hardware have a story on using eight gallons of cooking oil to act as a cooling medium for a PC.

Strange at it may seem, I seem to recall that oil is commonly used to cool high power electrical components. However, I have never heard of anyone using oil to cool a PC via immersion. That said, these people took the time to seal a case and make other needed changes to a motherboard and CPU and apparently ended up with a stable, completely quiet PC.

However, I'm not an electrical engineer and I have no idea whether this is safe to do so I'll say it once again, don't try this at home. YMMV. Insert disclaimer here.
