Sounds about right.
Oil has nil conductive properties for electricty so can't short out.
No dust problems either...
wouldnt this be dangerous you could end up with fried chips ?

how about mineral oil, here is a picture http://www.yourcomputerminute.com/20...f-mineral-oil/
You could even use a mini freezer or a ice cream freezer filled with oil for even better overclocking, although most freezers engines only work upright. Like that you could have the whole PC in a freezer with the mainboard in the oil hard drives and things on a shelf higher up. you would probably look for a high rated freezer that can go to -25 or something:)) right that's it I am shopping for freezers.
The PSU is in there. I honestly don't believe that... it's ridiculous.Quote:

PSUs work in oil. HDDs won't so they'd have to be outside it. Mineral oil is a much better choice than vegetable as it's less likely to go rancid. :p
Freezer won't work, you'll burn out the compressor.
Upgrades must be a bit messy.
How about changing CDs then
The drives are out of the oilQuote:

I don't think a freezer would be much use, they are designed to keep things at a constant temperature and tend to struggle when they have to fight against heat being put into the system rather than just cooling over the ambient air tempQuote:
