Why the hell did we/do we put gold into computers?
Because Au makes for one of the best conductors, but more importantly it does not corrode, technically silver and copper are better, but they are also more easily corroded and worn down.
Fun fact, due to it sucked at carrying a charge, you can actually immerse your computer in deionized water and it will still run, though you would have to keep the system completely closed since water is an amazing solvent and adding anything to it causes its conductivity to increase.

Aquariums.
Have you heard of them?
[/quote]Yeah, but why have the computer in water? Unless your NASA, I don't think anything drastic is needed.

Not exactly, a computer in liquid will cool itself much much more efficiently than simply using air. It also eliminates the need for moving parts, technically now you could even immerse the hard drive if you got an SSD, the only thing sticking our of the water would be the motherboard connector ports.
So now you have a computer that is completely silent and you can do some neat overclocking with it because it manages heat more efficiently. I would totally build one to use as a mini-media center box with a TV.

integrate the cooling system into your coffee table and have some rad neon tubing flowing around/through/in itÂ

Re: Neat stuff (non-lulz but interesting things) - copulatingduck - 08-05-2010
I believe in the steady state most atx computers would still have to be turned off and allowed to cool, since the oil would only be acting as a massive heatsink, and can't actually dissipate the heat generated quickly enough. Unless of course you've got a separate radiator for cooling the oil (lol) or house the computer in one cold fucking room. Still a cool idea though.

I disagree. But I'm too lazy to work out the math.Â

Did it for a thermo problem set a few years back and the TA confirmed the solution so I think I did it alright

Well it would depend on how quickly the oil lost heat to the surrounding atmosphere, or if you had a fish tank pump to move it out to another heat exchanger

well the pump negates the whole "no moving parts", but both are pretty easy to quantify
