German Guy Cools PC in Oil [LINK]
 

Apparently this guy was so sick of the noise his PC made he put it in an aquarium with oil (lettuce oil in Dutch). Makes the PC completely silent and it has been running for an entire year now without a problem.

What people don't think of...

thats pretty crazy the images seem to be broken i've heard of people putting them in water before but never in oil thats shot

slashdotted already

It's far less crazy than dumping it in water. Why on earth would anyone dump a PC in water unless they were so pissed off they wanted to blow it up?

in water??? uhm... last time I checked electricity and water wasn't a very good combination.

Can't see shit. :(

found this one on his messy webpage

Shit that is amazing. He should patent the idea, and make something from it.

Looks like all he used was vegetable oil. Damn, I wish my computers would quiet down now... hmmmm

My pc is quiet :)

i dont get it LOL

heh, that's pretty cool...

Seems a bit odd but whatever works I guess. Gotta go dig up the old Pentium II.

try overclocking your pc and watch the heat goes up!

And this is an amazing thing because? Large dataservers have been using a concept similar to this for a long time. I forgot what it is but it looks like water and feels like water but its like $100 for a gallon or some crazy price like that. And you can just dump the computer into it without any problems. Using oil seems pretty nasty imo. I would think it would be pretty hard to get that shit off all the components when you pull it out lol.

lol that's amazing. I wonder if that really works!

I use dehydrated water to cool my pc.
works great.

Gawd damn... :pimp

i wonder what happens when u try to put a cd or dvd under oil in the pc haha...

Damn.. That is real cool.

I thought that thing was imposible.

Water on itself (H2O) doesn't do anything with electricity. If the water is clear it will be no problem.
