I might actually try it, I'm doing work experience at an equestrian vet clinic next week, so I'll have unlimited access to the stuff. After last year's work experience the smell of the stuff makes me gag though :sour:
It gives a 100% silent PC though, no noisy fans or water coolers. Plus it has 11/10 on the geek scale.
"Hey, you know what?"
"What."
"My PC is currently running submerged in a plastic Tupperware container filled with horse lube."
"Oh really?"
"Yea. Wanna have teh sechs?"
"Sure."
Wouldn't it just heat up the oil and cook it eventually anyway? Like it's ok for a while, but then the PC components 'cook' the oil, increasing it's temperature and making it (eventually) too hot for the PC to function? Maybe pump the oil round into a radiator or something, like an Oil cooler on a bike (Although no where near as much stress on the oil, same theory applies)
I think there's too much oil to be cooked by the PC. Plus oil absorbs less heat than water (not a good thing with regards to cooling the PC, but it means the oil stays cooler) You'd need a fairly sizeable container though, to work properly I'd say it would need to be about twice the size of your PC case
I might use one of the 50 gallon drums the mineral oil comes in as the case. Would work out really handy, wouldn't even have to handle the stuff then, just dump the entire PC into it
If I had millions of dollars to spend on a computer, I would rather use a diamond water block. Except it wouldn't actually be a water block, it would be a mercury block because it would have liquid mercury flowing through it. The mercury would flow through a large automobile radiator with a fan.
well... you see.. the horse and i were having a little fun, and... well, was kinda a spure of the moment thing, with all the hardcore horse sex, she didnt realise where she was going, i thrusted to hard, and thats the result... not that much of a big deal guys.. i do it all the time.
