im so very good with mineral oil no problems rancidic ty with veg oil meaning that you collect dust, small bugs do not use distilled water- not distilled because people handle your comp during building either

The fans are under extraordinary stress - they would have to burn out after a few days. Cooling issues - Removing the excess heat would make this setup rather ugly. Static issues - oil has capacitance. Theoretically static fields would build up around electric components, causing interference to occur when reading / writing data. The casing looks like HDPE, which is not resistant to oils over long-term usage. I would not recommend this solution to anyone.

Build Your Own Mineral Oil Computer Aquarium
By: Marcos Lacerda Case modification (commonly referred to as Case modding) is the modification of a computer chassis (often just referred to as the case), or a video game console chassis. Modifying a computer case in any non-standard way is considered a case mod. Many people, particularly hardware enthusiasts, use case mods to illustrate a computer's power (by showing off the internal hardware), and also for aesthetic purposes. Another reason to modify a case is to improve the computer's performance, features, or cooling, when purchasing upgrades is not possible. Modified computers are often found at LAN parties where their owners display them. Case modding can be viewed as a form of self expression, resulting in some mods being built around a theme.-- Entry from Wikipedia.org
