Fill Your Computer With 8 Gallons of Cooking Oil

CoasterMatt · 07-19-2006, 12:44 AM

I currently have a water cooled computer, but I'm interested in other alternatives to traditional fans/heatsink methods of computer cooling - my buddys at Tom's Hardware made a completely silent, completely submerged computer - check it out here.

Maybe this'll be the successor to the Cheeseburger 9000?

Interesting.

And if, by chance, the thing does overheat, you can make corn dogs! It's a win-win.

Yes, but how often do you have to change the oil?

So, would you have to take your computer to be serviced at Jiffy Lube or McDonalds?

Nobody services my computer, but me.

I'd call it the French Fry 9000.

Fear not these ill-mannered remarks others are making. True genius is never fully appreciated by the masses. You shall rise above this rabble my brother, the searing light of your genius causing them to cower from it's intensity.

I have filled my CPU with filling sucked from Twinkies.

I hope that thing is airtight. Rancid oil is gross.

Umm... wow.

Did you read that right I saw this about 4 years ago and they used lamp oil because of its thermal and dielectric propertys... any form of cooking oil would go bad and would gum up the works... Not going to repost but am fairly certain that cooking oil is a bad idea.

Clicking on link for I two was going to build one of these awhile back as my gaming/object de art machine
