Anyone ever considered this? Getting a 5 gallon fish tank. Decking it out to hold motherboards and pc parts and the other small things, Filling with mineral oil and using it as a case.
It's technically water cooled. You can do anything you want to adjust the efficiency. You never have to worry about standardization much. And you can use it all you want for whatever you want including multiple PCs. Plus easy to decorate!
It seems so convenient in so many ways. But last time I brought it up everyone mocked it like it was the dumbest thing in the world. I can bet it's better than air cooled. You can technically do anything to it you can with water cooling and with peltiers. What is the downside?
Mineral oil doesn't evaporate either. Y0u just have to make sure it doesn't leach up the wires and leak from what I've read. Which can be easily fixed with fittings for plugs at the top of the case. Just about like what you do to a fish tank anyway.
You would never need another case again. You can mod it however you need. It's supposed to be a very good efficient space saving way to deal with servers on top of it. So why not desktop PCs! you can learn all kinds of fun engineering stuff along the way too! And a lot cheaper than college! 8D
The knowledge to do this and say half make any of the parts like thermometers or peltiers is pretty much past the knowledge to get a job at a pc store and other low end jobs, besides doing stupid things like Backing up PCs and whatnot. So.... It could even help you get skills to get a job. And probably more competency than 99% of the competition! 8) Sky's the limit technically.
So where is the downside/negative opinion in general coming from!?
