Fantastic.

I`d never have thought of that lol.

Mind you. They do say it`s better to fry your chips in a little oil, rather than animal fat.

Just park it in the garage! At the end of the article- they recommend motor oil!!
Probly multi-weight Castrol would suffice. Didn't see the tube for the dipstick, tho.
Don't forget- if ya upgrade your graphics card, pour in a quart of slick50 to expedite signal!!

An update of the age-old similar expirement with a Socket 7 Pentium board. Only in that one they left all the fans running! It made a pretty cool swirl in the liquid.

Don't forget to add green food coloring on Saint Patty's day, or red on Christmas, lol

LoL, i would never do anything like that to my computer. What if you what to change to a different type of cooling? All your parts would be covered in grease...or motor oil...which isn't much better at all...
