then get a external cd/dvd drive and a usb hub too.
Oil is good because it does not conduct electricity,. but it DOES conduct heat VERY well. Therefore, any heat created is instantly displaced as long as there is enough oil there.
Is 5-6 Gallons of mineral oil good enough to not produce a lot of heat? Also wouldn't the bubbles help? Also do you think I can try this with my laptop except take out my monitor and keyboard and put my processor and everything in there, connect my monitor get a usb keyboard?Originally Posted by Rishwin
Well from what i saw there, they used over 30 gallons of oil to fill it. I would NOT recommend it or a laptop.
Also, after about 2 hours that oil WILL get hot... to be ideal, that tank probably needs to be inside another tank filled with water and some sort of radiator to keep it cool.
Thats why they used the bubble machine. It wasnt 30 gallons, because if you look closely, its actully high speed.
i might make something like this still lots of research dont want expensive comps go dead on me : P still biggest problem is keeping the oil cold so it doesnt start getting too hot some have used radiators and then used fans on the raditor to keep that cool but then the fans will make lots of noise :/
Bubble machine passed an extremely small amount of air through h the oil ; not enough to cool it down. If instead of air that was something else like liguid nitrogen (no idea if it's even possible or if would cause a bad reaction) or extremely cols air, then yes it would help. Also, yes i know it was in high speed, i also noticed they filled it with about 5/6 of those 6 gallon bottles. Hence, 30 gallons.
aye they added a Radiator too handle the heat http://www.pugetsystems.com/gfx/subm...ry/SubRad4.jpg the next problem will be cooling the radiator without making noise : P
Phail.
5/6 = 5 or 6, NOT five sixths.
Also i only know the metric system.. at the beginning he said 6 gallons of Oil then showed only 1 bottle, So i assumed 1 bottle was 6 gallons. To fill the tank he used 6 of those bottles. 6 x 6 = 36.
Don't you think it would be easier to say 1L (Litre) just to cause less confusion? Anyways really how much do you think that would cost 60 dollars too? Cause I thought he meant 60$ a bottle I was like OH SHIT...
Edit: Bubba ummm how do I turn it on if it has no turn on button??? LOL!? Is it supposed to be on the whole time?

Didnt you notice the motherboard panel had a switch that was sticking up from the tank?
Jesus, how the hell did you think it would turn on?
Edit: Last time I checked, the USA didnt have a metric system so I do not measure in Liters. 1 Bottle = 10 Gallons.
Ahhh, ok thanks for telling me I was just wondering I didn't watch the video like 20 times. I saw it like twice then I saw some tutorial on how to make it so I was like ok I'll check that out... Anyways thanks so I can buy this switch from any computer store right?
Last time I checked I lived in Canada so the metric system here is Liters. For me it's easier.
Its a good idea, and it must be absolutly silent.
But I'm not one for 'see through cases'
