Well seeing this video here is my plan to put an old system in.

I will be using this tank http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tetra-Aqu...s-Fish-Aquatic-Pets/12177653?findingMethod=rr.

I got $30 for the fish tank then $15 a gallon for mineral oil and im thinking about getting 4 gallons hoping that the computer components and maybe some rocks or fish tank accessories will be enough to push it up a gallon or so. The store i found the mineral oil at does not sell smaller amounts and i dont want to have to spend more money than needed.

Just looking for suggestions and advice as i feel completely lost on this subject.

The only benefit I see in doing this would be if you could cool the fluid. Just having it submerged in room temp oil is inferior to good air cooling or water cooling.

Other then. Look what I did, ain't it cool. Its completely pointless. Plus a mess.

Im not trying to cool a system or have a point to it... Its basically to say "hey look what i did" and have a little fun doing it.

Ive heard the oil eventually wicks into the wires and capacitors.
