Oil Cooled P.C, enjoy:

Nah, he's using vegetable oil, which is lovely

...Here's another link to it:

How does that not mess up all the PC hardware?

 

I remember seeing that years ago hehe, quite old news but still pretty cool and pretty strange. It doesnt screw up the PC because it's not conductive and it kicks ass for absorbing heat

 

Nice... that (or something similar) was also published in a German PC-magazine 2-3years ago I think...

They also had a Version casted in epoxide resin - one solid lucent block ...
.. bad for maintenance but pretty cool

 

Pretty cool & when you get hungry you can crank up the heat & sling in some potatoes to make chips.

Or fries for you Us types.

 

...Yep, it's nothing new, oil cooled transformers, coils and the such like have been in use for years, cooling the P.C is just another application which I thought was worth highlighting

...Oh yes and the idea of being able to cook up some fries whilst playing summat like MOH also appeals to me

 

Hah! I have free access to liquid nitrogen!

Not that I use it for anything, but it'd be fun to run my 486dx4 at 150mhz

 

What kind of job gives you free access to liquid nitrogen?

 

Being involved with the RINO foundation (http://www.stichtingrino.nl/ unfortunately Dutch only as of yet), a small group of mainly physics students subsidized by the University of Leiden, we tour around (and outside) the country to demonstrate experiments at schools, science fairs, etcetera - all in the name of promoting science, of course, though there is fun to be had too.
The LION (Leiden Institute of Physics Research) is so kind to supply us with the nitrogen

 

Hmm... never knew you were that clever

 

you know i bet its a pain in the ass to replace parts on the board.

 

That's not cool, thats ridiculous, just kidding!

Maybe one day, PC components would be made up of some liquids, maybe a liquid hard drive (there goes my crazy imagination again...)

 

Looks like shit.

 

Yeh' I think he wanted to avoid using transformer oil as using veg oil was deemed more 'eco-friendly'!!!!!

...Also it smells a tad sweeter when boiling

 

Only germans can be so cool

but i think he got something wrong there...i also have that big glass box, but i use it for water, with fishes in

 

It all depends on how you slice them - we've got both here. :smt043

 

Thats cool but he has to keep the HDD, floppy, and CDROM out of there because those components can get screwed up..

I'd use a P4 prescott set up, cool it with vegetable oil, and I would end up with a deep fryer .
