Over the years, I have seen many projects on the web that cooled a computer using common vegetable oil, including a very popular video by Tom’s Hardware.

I felt that by building a computer in an aquarium using clear mineral oil, that I would be able to accomplish a much more attractive result, with less work. I am happy with the results!

I later added a large passive radiator to help dissipate the heat, and the result is a rock solid system with temperatures maxing out at 45C.

Next, I plan to add crushed blue rock to the bottom, and take the housing off the power supply.

I posted details of my project on my company’s website at http://www.pugetsystems.com/submerged.php
