thought of it
but he's not cooling anything hot
a cely 550?
note that there is no active fluid movement
it's all convection
which is very cool but don't think this would work on a p4

Tried it with distilled water years and years ago on a P200. Worked fine, PSU and all.

Dont try this at home!

Oil cooling is probably much better than water for the simple fact that many oils can be very non-conductive and can stay that way for a long time. I might make a case like this for my HTPC when I get it all up and running.
