Very nice, if i was your teacher A+++, nice work, perhaps add a cover the the top of the tank to mount your other parts, and a little prop or something to get some current in the oil and your set.
working submerged passive cpu
2
I had to do a computer related project for class, so I chose to submerge a computer in vegetable oil. Everything went well, and I decided to try to run the cpu without its heatsink. It continued to to run well, and my only type of stress test was to play UT 2004. I played for 2 hours and it never crashed. I will be bringing in core temp, the thermometer that goes in the turkey while it is in the oven to test the oil temperature, and prime95 on Monday to test it, along with a camera for better pictures. Here are some pictures.

If i do my actual computer I would pay the extra for mineral oil. I love how it is absolutely silent! |
