Oil cooled pc Submerged in Minneral oil

PSU produces a lot of noise.. If you're gonna go for oil submersion, what's the point in putting the PSu outside.. That just goes to show that oil submersion is just a bunch of crap..

if noise reduction is reason you'd want an oil submerged PC, why would you put the PSU outside! it defeats the purpose.

Its cool to look at, but what a mess. Just changing a stick of memory, talk about being oiled up.

Realistically I don't think you can get it done with $500, unless it is extremely low end. The mineral oil, tank and possible radiators would push the cost up. However, it is one way to build a completely silent system with no fans, though you'll need a fanless powersupply and all aftermarket heatsinks to help disperse the heat.

People are not getting this.

FANS DO NOT MATTER, you can leave the fans in or take them out either way it doesnt make a difference. After 2 months the people at puget said there fans are working just fine, and even if the fans do break down, you dont need them because the cooling is done via the oil not the fans.

Also like Puget said you do not need to cool the oil but you can, read the article

Looks like a dirty mess to me. I'm guessing you can't re-use the parts on another PC build - when you upgrade either.

I'll leave vegetable oil in the kitchen - and motor oil to my car.
