An option? :)

Well, you could submerge your Red in a vat of mineral oil and give it a little porthole to peek out of... kinda like this computer guy did:

I know what you mean though Tom ;)

Minral oil has nothing on the lifeblood of cray super computers!

Good thought, Tom. Make it waterproof, no need for a housing :biggrin:

Nice stuff.
I guess I'll make this on my next PC.
Or not...

The interesting side-benefits (besides of cooling) is that the computer will:
- not collect any dust
- not corrode (important in here and the rest of Latino America...)
- the fans should never wear out
- silence...
Would be interesting to combine this with a proper liquid cooling system...

Liquid cooling for PCs used to be very exotic, but it comes standard now on Dell's highest-end XPS gaming models.

The mineral oil PC and the Armari XCP are both "liquid immersion" as opposed to the usual tacky neon blue tubing watercooled gaming system with L.E.D's up to the gills.
But yes, liquid immersion does have it's benefits over standard cooling methods, although it is very difficult to implement it properly for a computer that will run stable for long periods of time.

Dust is a problem here.
However, corrosion is not, and I live relatively close to the beach (1 mile from here). Curious...
Now I'm willing to work on the noise level issue. I want to replace all my fans for "quiet" verions Akasa, TT or whoever makes.
Ok this is the Epic forum and that was a hijack.
