Great, now computer will truly be able to leak ( inside Tech geek joke).

I would HATE to have to clean up after you knock it over.

What I dont understand is how the acrylic dont melt from the heat. Some of those parts get well over 100 degrees. Granted its in liquid but still.

THe fluid dissipates the heat, if the oil got to 100deg then you could worry. It would take a LONG time for a computer to heat up 5g of oil.

I was thinking that too but how many times do youknock overyour computer tower? You'd break the components anyway.

As heavy as that has to be - I don't see you knocking it over easily like a regular mid-tower which is just an empty box that's normally top heavy to begin with...[:-]

What I'm curious about is build up... wouldn't this prevent normal dust blanket build-up that adds to increased core temps? Or would the minerals in thespirits begin to adhere to the superheated components thus creating a crust - similar to calcium build-up on a faucet - not the same just a visual to go by.

Did like the bubbles though - funny how the circulation increased the videocard temps as it lowered the cpu's...

Guess only time will tell...
