I've heard some people talk about cooling a computer by immersing the hardware in mineral oil, and seen a few videos on YouTube demonstrating it. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but this sounds a little bit hazardous to the user's health.
ISTM that putting a strong heat source inside an open container full of a petroleum distillate product, and then staying in an enclosed room with it for a significant period of time, is a real good way to end up learning why huffing gasoline fumes is generally considered a bad thing. What am I missing? How is a cooling system like this safe?
