Great score Gilly !!! :lol:

Now - when all that vegtable oil goes rancid :shock: [insert puke smiley]

& on the last page they state

"but we recommend motor oil."

With the acids & other chemical components of motor oil, I would say it might have the potential, over time, to eat the plastics & polymers used in the case, wires & boards. :shock:
In fact motor oil does a rather poor & inefficient job at best, in cooling even automobile engines.
So much so, that all autos for about a decade now have used auxilary oil coolers on vehicles.
It is rather toxic as well. :shock:

I think they should leave the automobile oils to the gearheads &
the cooking oils to the cooks. :P

might be a "cool" idea, i think H20 is safer :P as one person said, if it hits electronics when they are off, like a CPU for example, if it is dried out properly why wouldnt it work again? if it was at "normal" humidity then it should still work fine i guess

Yeah, I've even heard of people who clean their systems out with water and then bake them in the oven at a very low temp to fully dry them.
As long as they aren't on the water can't damage them (besides causing rust over time I guess)
The damage just comes when connections are made between bits that shouldn't be connected (I guess that's called a short)

Right on IIDX

Also the problem with water (humidity) is that it mixes with the flux on the soldered areas & forms an acidic solution.

I would highly recommend a safe circuit board cleaning spray rather than use water. :shock:
I would also worry about the battery on the MB & it shorting if it was not removed & also any capacitors in the PC or PSU.

That was my first thought :D. Then the angle stuff we talked about in the other thread.

Wow weber, nice setup. First thing that popped into my head when I saw the thumbnail was "...bastard"
