When I originally posted, I was thinking the following:

1) Whole submersion cools all chips. I keep seeing: cool the northbridge, cool the southbridge, cool the mosfets, cool the underside...What's next?

2) No complicated water blocks or tubing. Solve one complicated problem once. Of course, now that I've been reading for awhile, it seems lack of direct impingement will significantly decrease the systems cooling ability on the chips that matter. Maybe the containing box needs to be designed like one big waterblock. Maybe the liquid enters through special jets over the cpu? The motherboard itself provides the turbulence.

3) I'm not concerned about the cost of flourinert at the moment - just its efficacy. How come there in't more enthusiam for it?

4) The first problem is creating a sealed box where I can bring out the connectors and stay sealed. Eventually, I see a neat looking clear acrylic box with cooling equipment, power supply, and disk drives mounted below in a sleek black box.
