Feb 15, 2010 - Hey shut the fuck up, i made a small mistake ok, mineral oil then. Big deal..

Feb 16, 2010 - At least you were smart enough to not submerge the harddrive. Some other guys on YouTube dumped all the components in the oil.

Feb 21, 2010 - I have some of the parts of such a project sitting in a corner over yonder. I went as far as to get a gallon plastic tupperware container and mounting a motherboard tray in it. But I cannot cannot bring myself to put a thousand dollars worth of stuff in oil. God the shame. Also Im pretty sure I need to set up a radiator and oil pump to get cool the oil. One of these days I'll win the lottery and do whatever the hell I want.

Feb 21, 2010 - That's a five gallon container, excuse me

Feb 22, 2010 - Would the new solid state hard drives work?

pntballkid95 Says:

Feb 22, 2010 - i dont know much about this, but how is the thing still working under liquid oil?

leafybean Says:

Feb 23, 2010 - Sure would! If you tried this with a standard HD, it will fail quickly due to the oil slowing the movement of the head.

Feb 25, 2010 - A radiator and pump.

JAbrahamCollins Says:

Feb 25, 2010 - This machine is submerged into mineral oil (horse laxative) which is completely non-conductive. submerging a PC into water would be a sunken failboat.

Feb 25, 2010 - Normal hard drives are not airtight. They have a hole covered by a filter in the casing to equalize air pressure at higher elevations.

beep53 Says:

Feb 26, 2010 - yup

bob505470 Says:

Feb 28, 2010 - because the mineral oil is not conductive

Mar 7, 2010 - in theory would computers last longer this way,? since most electronics are made to fail.... also no corrosion or dirt would ever get to them and wear them out.... question as far as servicing, just drain and fill how often?thanx, 5 stars
