Ok guys, this is a theoretical build that i would love to do. This combines the best parts of lots of different set ups. I want to build a custom lexan or Plexiglas casean submerge both my mother board and possible my power supply into mineral oil. I would pull the oil out of the closed system into an external aquarium water chiller and then dump this back into the system over a processor and possible video card(s) water cooler heatsinks. The hard drives and dvd drives would be hosted outside of the main case, probably beside it in there own case. All my ports would come straight out the top of the case. The whole thing would be sealed to prevent spill. So its not the smallest thing around, but it solves alot of problems. Because everything is submerged into mineral oil, it would not have a condensation problem. I could cool WAY below ambiant temps and keep everything on my board cool. It would be interesting figureing out all the hard drive wiring, but if i set it all up sata/ esata it wouldn't be that hard. Possible run dual power supplies, one internal, one external, would take care of wiring that way.
This is my first post on your guys forum, i just found it tonight. I have been kicking this idea around in my head for awhile now, thought i would run it by you guys. Let me know what you think.
