Thanks for all of the help...

I was just looking at it as a novel idea, when i upgrade from my laptop to a desktop (hopefully this fall) it'll be in air.

I'm a building construction major so I'm used to dealing with all that fun construction stuff in school...as soon as you mention anything very technical i go stupid.

ROFL.. its mineral oil. You said words are too complicated, how about a picture and video. LOL...

That is absolutely retarded! That air better be pretty well filtered, do they not realize that they're introducing countless numbers of airborn particles that are probably conductive to the mineral oil with the air bubbling? Not to mention their load temperatures, how do they consider that remotely safe? 84C? If they're going to go through all the trouble, why not move the motherboard tray a little further forward and submerge an AC evaporator behind the motherboard tray and run it sub-ambient. All condensation would be external to the electronics components. I think it's very possible for this to be a very successful cooling method if done properly. All the attempts I've seen to date have been really jimmy-rigged.

lol.. i thought it was pretty cool

would never do it to hardware because its impossible to clean all that crap off.

But yeah it definitely looks like fun. Maybe i'll try it on a mini ITX system.
