That is the point has been done many times. Not doing it to my main computer (The one in my sig) doing it to an old Compaq Presario with a Pentium 1 200mhz processor, 32mb of ram and a 3GB HD. It's just sitting in a box collecting dust.. so why not have some fun with it?

As for the oil in transformers, well, that would work.. but you will need close to $500 for a gallon of transformer oil. Plus I think the company would wonder why a resident is ordering such a thing lol.

btw, i know I would have to clean off the dust on everything, any suggestions how I would clean the motherboard and other components? I've heard some really wierd ones such as sticking it in the dishwasher... which does not seem to be a good idea to me. As for the case, I would just strip it down and power wash it.

EDIT:

Motoxrdude, to keep the oil cool, you have to keep it moving. Put fans in or some pump. I probably would recommend a pump since I guess fans after a while would burn out since the motor would have more stress trying to turn the fan in oil. I will probably put in some high quality fans in anyway.
