Sorry, but both those links give a 404 message (not found) - maybe you can re-check them so we know what you're looking at? Thanks... Steve

Its known as an Acrylic case and its by Aska.

Their website link http://www.akasa.co.uk/akasa_english/pr ... c_menu.htm

That is a hard project to do and Im curious why do you really have the need, there are alot of better cooling solutions OR quiet solutions if thats what you are after.

What about water cooling OR just large slow rotating fans that are proven to be silent.

Or, for that matter, placing the PC in another room with extension cable? All you need in the room is keyboard, monitor, mouse and maybe a firewire combo cd/dvd writer (for convenience)... Steve

i see...
they say that if i use synthetic motor oil instead of cooking oil, the oil will not oxidize.. but i worry about residue of motor oil in case of my exchanging components ...
actually 3m fc-77 is best fitted oil.. but it's too expensive..

I personally wouldnt want to pour liquid near my computer for any reason, that test was done to prove a point as far as Im aware and has been done before by people but they found Dry Ice to be the best passive cooler.

If you are after the ultimate silent solution or just pure cold temperatures then use Dry Ice with a copper tube, it will cool it anywhere between -100 to -10 depending on your pc.

i've seen this done, but they used a fish tank, you might try that, you can probably find a used one for pennies.

it's intersting , we usually think of liquid being bad for electronics, but apparently some liquids conduct electriciy less well than air, which your pc is already soaking in

not sure what is up with the hard drive however ... maybe they are airtight? no way those platters would spin in oil.

however, i wouldn't relish the idea of getting in there to change components.
