Ah mineral oil cooling, was wondering about that

Being able to build a really good PC and keep it modular, whilst removing all the need for hardware expertise would be pretty revolutionary
help.

I'd love to do a mineral oil PC, but it's both expensive, messy and... Even more messy if you need to diagnose stuff.

And the parts are basically worthless afterwards.

Edit: Yeah, in theory. If there's no interest, however..

It depends how much it'd cost too, the type of market would probably be console gamers with a bit more money to spend, I'd guess. Great idea nevertheless though. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Could create its own market, can see why apple comparison exists.

That type of PC would be aimed at anyone who would want it really, aside from people who absolutely love modding their own PCs/having all the hardware tinker-able

But for everyone else who just wants a PC that is modular/upgradeable and is enthusiast/gaming level, that ticks the boxes I suppose :P

E:
Also being Razer, it'll probably cost like 4k
LEDS ARE THE COOLEST CHARGE ME MONEY
help.

Yeah, true - But I'd imagine the R&D costs would be a lot, especially considering the proprietary components, and mineral oil as a whole... If there's no high end market, yeah. Razer is Razer though, their brand through and through is high end gaming, but at the same time I see it being perfect for people who want a PC but can't be bothered doing the research, which I personally tend to see as lower end.

One thing I am curious about is how the mineral oil is cooled, cause from what I have seen passive cooling does not work with mineral oil... I guess that's one reason why there hasn't been much news about it in the past year. Unslain Bosses - Clan
