    Here's the real deal; lots of proprietary stuff, but more high-zoot than the Puget kit:

    That really is awesome. I wish I had the balls to try something like that out.

    It really is a solution in search of a problem.
    Early electronics ran so much hotter than today's stuff and I suspect that the immersion cooling solution was useful for mission critical hardware...of course, they were probably using exotic PCB laden fluids instead of mineral oil.

    The type of hardware we use hardly needs/justifies such extreme measures.
    I mean really, why spend all the money on an enclosure and fluid to protect hardware that costs less than $500?
