because the mineral oil is not conductive
yup
Normal hard drives are not airtight. They have a hole covered by a filter in the casing to equalize air pressure at higher elevations.
This machine is submerged into mineral oil (horse laxative) which is completely non-conductive. submerging a PC into water would be a sunken failboat.
A radiator and pump.
Sure would! If you tried this with a standard HD, it will fail quickly due to the oil slowing the movement of the head.
i dont know much about this, but how is the thing still working under liquid oil?
Would the new solid state hard drives work?
That’s a five gallon container, excuse me
I have some of the parts of such a project sitting in a corner over yonder. I went as far as to get a gallon plastic tupperware container and mounting a motherboard tray in it. But I cannot cannot bring myself to put a thousand dollars worth of stuff in oil. God the shame. Also Im pretty sure I need to set up a radiator and oil pump to get cool the oil. One of these days I’ll win the lottery and do whatever the hell I want.
wow!
3:09 What Would Be An Aquarium Without Bubbles LOL ^_^ !!!!!
Bet thats a mess to clean up.
At least you were smart enough to not submerge the harddrive. Some other guys on YouTube dumped all the components in the oil.
Hey shut the fuck up, i made a small mistake ok, mineral oil then. Big deal..
so and where is a fish?
that’s very good i heard it cools PC just about 10C. that’s very very cool, but is heavy anyways if i we’re to build a thing like that I’ll pick a small container w/c can submerge all parts ^^
you can fry some potatos in there, cool
It’s actually prett cheap to make these PC’s, at least compared to the higher-end PC’s.
Wonderful, but….
How do you cool the oil. If you don’t cool the oil at an effective rate it’s like cooling with a brick, when it’s cold it’s cold, but when it heats up it can get very hot and fry the computer.
THATS FUCKING COOL! I didn’t know you could submerge PC hardware in that stuff!
OMG~ this is sick !
i love the way you play PC. XD
check the site man, Puget Systems has the first version of this computer still up and running for 2 plus years, fans still work fine.
