omg ...sweet

Your mom runnig to hot? Just fill her up with mineral oil. 

FIXED! 

You can actually use any type of oil, i've seen this done with cooking oil and motor oil.

The bubbles are schweet.

        BABOOLES!!

Yeah I saw a few with vegetable oil,  this one just looked like a pretty clean and easy set up. I've read up on it out of curiousity and I guess its a pretty viable and working solution for heating problems. I might scrounge around here and find some old parts and build it, just to do it.

Yeah, i have yet to see a better way to dissipate heat, the only major problems can be A) Leaks are a bitch to clean up and will eventually happen; B) when you need to repair something, it's all covered in oil.

I've thought about doing this at home, and still might if I can build a system worthy of the trouble.

The only thing that would worry me is something growing in the oil.   Sounds like it could get nasty. 

yeah the leaks would be a problem, but if you used a fish tank and top loaded like the vid it prob wouldn't be an issue. and i read the veggie oil can get pretty nasty but the mineral oil is a lot cleaner, plus if you seal it up properly it stays that way. who who knows. if i can score the parts i'll try it out

I was going to use an acrylic case with silicone sealant to keep in the oil. It would be pretty leak proof. You would need to design a removable top though, so you wouldn't ever be able to leave it on it's side. Also, you couldn't use an internal CD/DVD ROM.

hmm we'll see the thank they suggested seemed pretty simple and they just cut a piece of plexiglass to fit the top of the tank. I'll do some more research. Yeah I think the HD and cd/dvd would have to be outside the tank... but we shall see.

Anyone have a spare room I can move into when Snacks burns the house down with this thing?

Hmmmm...

I lol'd in my pants a little. 

Just throw an oil filter on it.

who else wants to attach a rubber glove in one of the fan ports and make sweet compy love?  Yah, me neither.

Ok Kas you dont normally disturb me like you do some others but you have me on that one. im even giving you a karma for it.

If mineral oil works why wouldn't antifreeze??? Is there a difference??? if can it handle an engines heat out put it should handle a cpu...

mineral oil and distilled water works because it doesn't conduct electricity ... not sure about anti-freeze

I was curious about this so I read on it a bit. Apparently most anti-freeze sold commercially is essentially ethylene glycol, which has a high boiling point and a low freezing point, and will not conduct electricity.

That's it, I'm filling my case with Honda blue after work.

Make sure the holes are plugged, or...well if you did it already you know...

well the case is nice and watertight.  Now I just have to get a new top for my car so that, too, can be without leaks.  Fucking asshole thieves...

??

Ze Germans came and broke into my car this weekend while I was in Kansas getting fucked up.  I spent 16 hours yesterday trying to get home only to find the soft top on the Miata sliced open and the interior thrashed.  Sweet.  Adjuster is coming out tomorrow and he better bring his check book.  And his green hat.

Wow that sucks dude.  Hopefully you can get some new parts to install on it.  Also make sure that the insurance company pays you a hourly rate to do the install yourself.  I have Geico and they did that for me once.

Yeah, people go through my jeep a couple times a year, but I leave the doors unlocked and don't leave anything valuable in it. The top is worth $800, so if they cut it I'm out a lot more money than anything they could take out of it. Granted it only has liability insurance.

Well that went well.  The car came pretty close to being totalled, but I managed to keep the title clean and I got a big ass check for a bunch of stuff I'm going to fix myself instead of replacing with new parts.  I am going to have to order a new top shortly.  I think I'm going to follow Rando's lead and leave the doors unlocked from now on.

I told you that a long time ago JT should have listened to the snacks

My faith in you shall never falter again.

Mineral Oil FTW
