It’s not for the faint of heart, but it certainly makes a great conversation piece. We’ll walk you through the build, detail our mistakes, and show you how it all works. Water would kill everything it touches, but mineral oil doesn’t conduct electricity and is nonreactive-you can dunk a running power supply into a bucket of the stuff and it will keep running. However, what’s different is that this kit combines familiar bits with more exotic items, like an acrylic frame/container, an integrated temperature gauge, and the star of the show-several gallons of mineral oil.Ĭlick play on the video above to see how we finalized the fish tank PC. It incorporates items that will be familiar to liquid-cooling aficionados, such as a Swiftech pump, compression fittings, and a 240mm radiator.

You’ve probably seen aquarium-style case mods like this before, but this time we’re taking advantage of a pre-fabbed kit from Puget Systems. But since this is Maximum PC, we asked ourselves, “Why not take it one step further and submerge everything in liquid?” After all, what could possibly go wrong? Lately, we’ve been tossing around the idea of doing a Build It story that uses a custom liquid-cooling loop just because they are fun to play with, and when properly designed, have many tangible performance benefits.
