The Atomic Super-cooled liquid PC

It had to be done, and we did it. A working PC fully submerged in liquid, running at a CPU core temp of -7 degrees and an ambient temp of -61 degrees!

Who said liquids and electronics don't mix? Here, in its full glory, you can see the Atomic Oil PC built by our own master-modder Ron Prouse -- a completely submerged, fully functional, computer (power supply included!) cooled by a pump system with mineral oil and a little help from nitrogen pellets. The result? An incredible -61 degrees celcius inside the tank!

Watch video of this remarkable machine!
