You know Xbox 360’s have overheat problems, wonder if anyone would try it out?

Haha. ***** regular aquariums, put your computer in one!

What if you want to take it out later? It would be a ****** to get all that oil off :P


uw4nka on 20 June, 2008 at 10:10 pm #

That would be VERY heavy to move around.

They specially modded on a button underneath the black cover on the top, it’s also where the hard drive was placed.

Which is still so hot the case and components would be melting, along with cooking some of your flesh if you’re too close.

where is the power swish?


burg0110 on 3 July, 2008 at 3:14 pm #

I would think the main issue that could arise is corrosion of the various plastics due to being submerged in oil. It might cause things to break-down much more quickly than before.

But MANY oils have the same boiling point as smoke point. Thus it would burn at the same temp that is boils.


avni93 on 7 July, 2008 at 5:29 pm #

that would be awesome


xojix on 9 July, 2008 at 10:09 pm #

Virtually every liquid we can extract/manufacture CAN boil. However mineral oil for this usage would never reach a temperature that high.


xojix on 12 July, 2008 at 1:38 pm #

No it’s not, many oils are not flammable.


speedsk8r010 on 12 July, 2008 at 1:41 pm #

Anybody know if theres any better cpu cooler that meets the height requirements?


PythonDN on 13 July, 2008 at 3:55 am #

Well, done, guys! I would do the same if I could )… with some artificial fishes


smyrna112 on 14 July, 2008 at 1:59 am #

For the idiots out there that might tell me im wrong. Mineral Oil does have a boiling temp of 260C - 330C (500 - 626F) but will start to burn and smoke right away.


smyrna112 on 16 July, 2008 at 12:10 am #

I read a bunch of the posts here and was looking how many fvcking retards think oil boils. IT DOES NOT!! FVCK TARDS Go back to school!!!!


drumstyx6464 on 16 July, 2008 at 2:37 am #

mineral oil is 100% nonconductive


Steal7th on 16 July, 2008 at 8:56 am #

one day later … booooom :D terrorist win :D


jaju123456 on 17 July, 2008 at 8:44 pm #

Cheap and ****! works too I hope!


nobby00900 on 20 July, 2008 at 10:33 pm #

yes i think so but not verry flamable and the oil will stay around room temp


Blackslam on 23 July, 2008 at 11:32 pm #

water cooling, ghetto style


Fonettik on 25 July, 2008 at 1:44 am #
