Mineral Oil computers?

What do you guys think of them.

Do you mean having a machine drowned in oil? If yes then I think it's a cool idea for about 5 minutes, but the novelty wears off extremely fast and then your left with a machine dumped in oil that's more of a hassle than it was with regular cooling. So in short, not worth it.

Rove.

It would be hard to exchange parts for a warranty.
