    You have to change the oil regularly and it makes swapping parts more of a pain in the arse.

    If you really want to see one visit Playtech in Albany.

    To be honest, liquid nitrogen is a far more impressive method of cooling!

    Its different and kind of cool but it does not do it for me, although I do have a spare computer and more in storage until we move into the new pad thats being built. I must admit that the liquid nitrogen looks cool. But for now Im lazy and will just settle of extra fans as long as they have lcds...

    As cool as it looks, I don't think that would improve cooling at all. You need a pump and cooler system to circulate the oil if you don't want that system to overheat... eventually.

    If you cool the oil too much (< 0 degrees) you'll start to get problems with ice forming on your hardware... Not good.

    It's as tacky as a PC with LED's all over the place. Most peeps want smaller computers, not larger. I'm also thinking it could end up as a huge chip pan fire.

    I've just ordered up one of these for a sniff over 500 bucks to stick behind the telly. At 223×178×26 mm my Neuros OSD might be ending up on trademe.

    Way back when Celerons (!) were considered something and overclocking was all the go, I saw an article about a Celery 300 (IIRC) that was totally immersed in freon (the whole mobo, everything) in a styofoam chillybin. It was overclocked to some phenomenal speed (for the day) and lasted maybe 10 minutes before cooking.
    today, with cpu speeds what they are, why would you bother?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    One company, way back in the day, produced a dual Pentium Pro machine with liquid nitrogen cooling. The clocked the CPUs to something like 600MHz - quite a bit considering they were only ever designed to run at 200MHz. Incredibly fast for the day, but very expensive and very noisy.
