The purpose isn't to look cool, but to cool the electronics. I dunno why they didn't disable the fan on the power supply. Seems pretty useless to leave it running, would be better off just using a pump to push the liquid around.

The oil they used isn't conductive so it's perfectly safe with electronics. Only issue would be cleaning the components if you ever took it out.
