Well I just submerged my PC in mineral oil. I was tired of hearing the fans all the time. I feel like I have acheived a new level or nerd-dom

The ups of it are that my PC is totally silent and runs a lot cooler. The power supply, MB, and video card are under the oil right now. I may or may not add the HD's. Most ppl say it is fine, because they are totally sealed. Others submerge the drives and then remove the cases so you can see the HD working. Not quite ready for that.

obviously the oil is non-conductive. It is in a 10gal fish tank. It was $10 at petsmart. The oil is a bit expensive at $10/gal.
