Computer in an Aquarium

[Joeyotrevor]

Puget Systems built a computer completely submerged in mineral oil. Very interesting read.

They also sell DIY kits. I'm thinking of getting one of these and trying it out some time.

I remember seeing this when I was fourteen and being absolutely amazed by it. It's a very unique idea. :D

i saw this way back too.

but here is something to think about. notice the fans are spinning alot slower.
now you dont have to worry bout cooling obviously, but the the extra resistance as in ohm resistance.
is likely to screw the system eventually.

have fun replacing anything in that.
why not just build a computer in a freezer with a dehumidifier in.
you can have a very "cool" pc and your beer will be right there.

I totally agree. I saw it a while back as well and was thinking how messy it would be to do anything hardware wise... like put a game in the DVD drive.

yeah agreed, maintenance would be a B... But still it looks pretty cool! I was looking at case mods one time and came across this...

Liquid nitrogen would be even cooler (no pun intended).
