Technically water doesn't either, but with the minerals that normally exist in everything but pure distilled water, the percolation limit is such that electrical conductance will occur with even low energies. Errr...in slightly plain English, the non-water shit in the water is close enough to each other that electricity can flow even though there's something that doesn't like to conduct in the way.

still though the idea is shit, 3 weeks after throughal use, the oil gets gunky and if you use the comp to much the oil gets got and instead of cooling heats your shit up...

btw any reason you resurrected a year old post white? O.o

I seem to remember it being a new post, but it may have just been that I saw someone looking at it. The week has been long. I've listened to so much crappy music that I think I'm going insane.

It would be ultra quiet right?

i wouldn't do this to my new system but i have old system that is exactly enough to be a multimedia PC.

Not to mention the sheer awesomeness of the project..

Well, if you maybe set the oil to filtered and circulated out with possibly something involving a laser and diffraction to test for purity so you know when to replace the oil, this could work slightly longer...or you could buy liquid cooling or some nice fans.

i was thinking more along the lines of a completely enclosed system. everything would be air/water tight.

it may not be practical in a $ sense but it's an interesting twist and a nice little project to play around with. not to mention i can see practical benefits for a media center (completely quiet. you see i have these dumbo lookin ears goin on and extra noise really ticks me off.)
