isn't mineral oil flamable?

I NEED TO DO THIS!

While that is true, it takes quite a while for any decent level system to really heat the oil, and when you attach a radiator the temps are typically lower than air or watercooling, phase change is cooler obviously but bulky, ugly and not a practical application for most people.

My last comment was for MrHappyface and
gats1788. Give them credit for being very creative.

You sound jealous about the fact that you did not think of this cool (pun intended)idea before they did?

Dude, look again. That's a cd rom on top, the hd IS in the oil.

The HD is in the top(lid thing), you can't see it but I know it is not in the oil.

Nimise is right, the HD is within the lid, if you use a solid state you can drop it in but a regular hard drive would have screwed up seek times because the oil slows the head's movement.

you'd never have to worry about dust getting into your components :P
