Interesting concept of an oil-cooled PC.

The oil-cooling allows to run the computer absolutely silently.

Upgrades and leaks must be fun.

please excuse my ignorance, but why is it safe to have any type of liquid on the computer components? How is it possible that there is not fire???! Please may someone enlighten me on this?

Oil doesn't ignite that fast (this is vegetable oil not mineral oil). As Rolling Bones mentioned you can fry french fries in oil and it doesn't ignite.

also, the oil/water only contacts the heat sink, no electrical components.
