This may belong in the "Silence over performance" forum, but I figured it applied here as well.

I've been on a mission for some time now to build a completely silent RAID-5 server that does not have a single fan in the system. I have been pursuing watercooling with a very large passive radiator, then I came upon this thread at Tom's Hardware.http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/02/...ns/page10.html Specifically the "E-mail From Mr. Wimmer: A Special Coolant". In it, this guy casually mentions that the hard drives could also be submerged into Galden ZT 150!?! (Incidentally, it appears there are several varieties of Galden available--not sure of the differences).

I wanted to hear people's thoughts on this. If this is the case, my search is over, and the holy grail of silent computing is about to be realized. And all without using a single waterblock. I'm sure there's a catch though...

All thoughts are welcome.
