Not sure if I am ready for this yet. But, on the other hand, I do like my fried chips :D.

    Been done before.
    It is better to use very light, white mineral oil.

    The best one that I saw used two desktop cases.
    The bottom one had the mobo and video, it was filled with oil.
    The top one had the PSU and drives.

    It's cool that it worked, it's just too bad it looks ugly as hell.

    Pure water would actually work the best, as 100% water is completely non-conductive. It's the foreign particles in water that make it conductive. Unfortunately, the filtration system necessary to keep water pure enough for computer immersion would probably very large, noisy, and extremely expensive.
