I've been trying to find a reason to build one of these. For those who have never seen such a thing, the trick is that the liquid you see is mineral oil, which is non-conductive. The only parts that should not be submerged are drives: hard drive, CD-ROM... although solid-state drives or CF cards would work in the oil without a problem.
The question is, which era of hardware should go into it if I build one? For those of you who play around with overclocking 486's or Pentiums to their limit, do you think you could take the speeds even further if you had some liquid cooling going on? Was there a board you were overclocking where you hit a limit of excessive heat, which could benefit from liquid cooling?
