8 Gallons of Vegetable Oil and your PC

Forget liquid cooling your PC with pumps and radiators. Place your PC in 8 Gallons of Vegetable Oil and then turn it on.

Amazingly these guys tried it with distilled water too. Ummm... water and electrical components? No thanks.

If you're into Pimping your PC then you should visit Atomic PC. Be sure to check out the modding section. I visit this site on a regular basis to see how crazy some people can get.




Pure Water, perfectly safe. Getting the 'Pure' into Pure Water, not very easy.

It's normal to have a 1.5HP reverse cycle air conditioning unit bolted to the side of your PC isn't it?

I would like to get My PCs to heat up a tropical fish tank. But it would be impractical. How would you take your PC down to the shop for a repair? But it would be quiet.

These friggin fans make so much noise. I bought a silent one for my server that made me happy for a while but they start to get noisey once dust gets in them.

I guess pure water wouldn't stay pure either when you put a PC in it.

I own three AMD toaster ovens. They are really bad for heat so I have accustomed to the sound of living in a wind tunnel. Just recently I popped a little window type air con into this room and the whir of that tends to out do the system fans. They have no throttling on any of them either, so it's full speed ahead all day.

This main workstation has about 4 fans in it, and a couple each in the others. The PSU that says 'silent design' on it is the noisiest of the lot. Swapping those smaller heatsink fans for the larger ones helps with the noise a little

They are about the right temperature to make yoghurt. Just get a jar with some milk and a bit of yoghurt to start it off and put it on your PC. Routers and modems make great yoghurt makers too. Anyone who buys a yoghurt maker online is getting ripped off.

Whoever thought AMD were in the yoghurt machine business :)

Come to think of it, they would be the right temperature to make beer. Now there's a challenge...

Not quite. Beer needs to brew at around 25-30 degrees celcius. Any hotter that about 30 and the yeast ends up dead and you get no beer. :(

You're right. That probably means it would be too hot for fish.

But if the temperature was absorbed by say 30 litres of beer then it could be ok. I love beer by the way.
