Default Submerged cooling?

Hey all just an idea i found that im going to try any feedback or suggestions on it would be a help to me

Basically the idea is taking the whole computer aside from the Hardrive and disk drive and submerging it in a fish tank and adding a liquid such as mineral oil to either keep it at a constant temperature or cool it.

Let me know what you think

That would work but it would be a huge pain and not worth it in my opinion unless you are doing it for the cool factor.

Expensive, messy, a big pain. Not really worth it IMO. Just really doesn't do anything other cooling cannot. If you have the money/time and you feel like doing it, why not though.

it is best done for a new build. If not for a new build, you need to make sure you get every single little bit of dust and junk off of the hardware, or risk something that could be electrically conductive.
