    Wow! I didn't know you could do that. I would have thought that the mineral oil would cause shorts, but I guess I was wrong!

    Uhh wow. That was interesting. I'm not that daring...

    I wasn't able to watch it with sound, so I don't know if they explained anything...but would one do this for cooling purposes? Or just for fun...

    Sounds like an interesting video. I will take a look when I get home (where YouTube is not blocked).

    The instant the funds are available for me to try that.. I'm doing it. Wow. How's that for a novelty PC to sell, haha. I would think that would have very negative effects on the hard drive though...
