ah didnt know that i thought it would kind of cool to try but i would suck to work on it because of the nasty oil all over everything

that is so old i cant even believe it. whenever i see a thread title like this i think "oh they made another discovery?" but no...another letdown

It'll work better with mineral oil. Transformer oil (which is mostly mineral oil plus some additives to enhance dielectric strength) is the best oil to use.

I did it a few years back in a 1 gallon fish tank and an VIA ITX in mineral oil
PS fans still turn in mineral oil
