Project Amphitrite - A fully submerged, oil cooled enclousure

[1461748123]

Why is the SSD outside the case... just more holes (data/power) to worry about leaking, no? I think having only the radiator and the coolant tubes coming out of the case keeps it very clean at these viewable areas/sides. Love your idea and rendering thus far.

I'm still thinking should I leave 2 2.5 inch drive bay on top of the case, they are reserve for HDDs, since they can't be submerged in oil. Bellow those 2.5 inch drives there will be a fill hole for oil filling after you put everything together

Will you use the normal cooling plates designed for air/water, or move to boiling plates designed for the fluid you're planning to use?

It won't boil - it's mineral oil. And normal sinks work just fine. Did you bother reading the articles at pugetsystems.com?!

I believe there was some discussion earlier about that fancy 3M Novec immersion cooling fluid so that's probably why she's asking.

Fair enough. My apologies @Cutie DarkFae , I thought that it was clear that the plan was to use mineral oil and not something more exotic.
