thanks man...i got a PIII here, and planning to do just that....and since the oil freeze point is lower than water, i guess i can keep the oil below 0C, like put the whole system into the freezer or something...

yah, it will, but you can seal the oil container airtight once you are done constructing the system. The water in the oil will eventually sink to the bottom of the oil into a bubble. You can leave it there- it looks cool - or drain it out by building a spigot into the lowest point of the case.
