even though my athlon is overclocked to 2.4ghz on air only...I've heard of extreme overclockers using an inert (non conductive) liquid submersion.  It's a type of mineral oil that doesn't conduct electricity.   A brand called flourinert is on the market.

It's very expensive.  It has to be both very pure...but also flourinert also doesn't freeze at extreme temperatures...

ermm...I suppose a good conspiracy theory is they are jacking the price to 'get ya' too.

anyway....I have no clue if the above is real, but people really do submerge their computers sometimes...I think its a tad ridiculous...I would always rather buy an amiga, than submerge my winblows machine in oil...<--see there, I do have some amiga spirit left.

I belive that this is transformator/switchgear oil.
Some of the specs that this kind of oil has to meet is a watercontent below 30ppm (that`s partspermillion) a pourpoint below -60°C and a breakdownvoltage of 30kV or 70kV for the dried grade. And yes is is quite expensive in produktion, at least in industrial quality.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Soggy PC.  Only problem is the cost of the water.  Everytime you turn on the PC it evaporates . . .  :lol:

The liquid is probably something called Fluorinert(TM) by 3M.

You can also have a look at this tutorial, sadly in norwegian only. Nice pictures though.

Sure, but I would refrain from eating that stuff afterwards .....  :-P
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

I dunno. If you can survive fish dredged out of the north sea in the first place, frying it in some synthetic oil heated by an overclocked PC isn't going to hurt you :lol:
