correct. very very messy but very VERY quiet.
built correctly you could probably drop one down some stairs with no harm as well.

It IS a PITA. Had one in college. They have to use a glass aquarium with silicone seals, as acrylic is degraded by prolonged contact. In addition, it creeps, can kill caps, and just tell me how you're gonna add parts to it constantly if it's under oil?

However, if you want one, food grade mineral oil. Farm supply places, it's a horse laxative. I kid you not. That'll work for freaking ever.

lol looks like an aquarium, he should fake plastic fish in there and add to the effect. Good idea though, probably not fun if you want to take parts out, quite the mess eh?

Cause they have no response to that. AMDs do run cooler. Like my 45 watt X2 here.

That's fantastic. I dont know if I'd use one myself but it'd certainly look fantastic, a conversation piece more than a PC.
