The only factor that I concerned is RMA issue.
I doubt manufacturer will receive your oily spoiled parts. |

You don't need to modify anything.
From videos on YT, you just submerge the components into the oil, and leave the HDD outside. |

Why would you go for a mineral oil? it's hard to maintain and very hard to fix problems....
Better go for fully wc system than mineral oil...looks good and more easy to maintain... here's a video to let you know more about how mineral oil pc looks likehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwBrCP9B93E |

Too much time so go and try it out, it seems fun in like 2 or 3 months and after that the maintainance and cleaning will be a painstaking job, to dry it complete you need at least like 3 to 4 weeks only can go back to air cooling...
build it wrongly u just need to recycle everything XD |

2k? u need at least rm 700 to water cooled the cpu only, the GPU water block cost about RM300....2k maybe save up for another half a month.
I just don recommend going for a oil cooled pc cuz waste of time and also not practical, you need to be like very damn experience guy to build this coz if u do it wrongly once short circuit...BAM, all going for the recycle bin... |
