Thinking Out of the Box and Into the Fish Tank

It’s nice to see that some guys in the computer world are thinking out of the box and into the fish tank. The guys at Puget Custom Computer’s have designed and build a custom pc submerged in mineral oil. We’ve heard of computers being cooled by vegetable oil but they were all very crude looking. The vegetable oil is a dark brown and will have your room smelling like french fries before you realize it.

This setup is not only functional, it’s pretty slick looking. The mineral oil is completely non conductive and smell free. The Washington company claims the oil effectively cools system components for up to 12 hours at peak load. The blue lights and bubbles at a pretty cool effect to the overall appearance of the case.
