yep, though not recommended if you plan on upgrading it over time, it just makes things messy.

Yes because oil is non conductive, although mineral oil is better to use than vegetable oil.

GTFO, so i can throw my PSU in there also?? I thought since oil was still a form of liquid it wouldnt really work... So does the oil neutralize the heat from the board? or how does that work exactly??

You would need a radiator of some sort to disappate the heat. The issue with putting a power supply in there is that it can cause some caps to swell, adds alot of extra heat, etc. Best to leave PSU out of the tank.

There's a website out there somewhere where this guy sells pre-made mineral oil PC kits. I'm pretty sure one of the kits needed no radiators (probably a low end system though).

Yea tell me about it. I dont think i would do it... I read in my A+ book about some small refridgeration unit that replaces a fan... Ill see what i find about that. I have heard of problems with water forming inside the case though. That cant be too good

I think ill just find a way to hook up an industrial fan to my case
