Mineral Oil Aquarium PC Now Allows EATX Mobos
The latest version of the Aquarium PC allows for EATX motherboards and ten gallons of oily fun.
Looking to build a wacky new rig to leave your pals in awe? Wanting something other than the standard chassis? Puget Systems has released a new version of its Aquarium PC DIY kit, allowing system builders to construct a mineral oil-cooled rig within a 10-gallon aquarium.
According to Puget, Aquarium PC V3 is a big improvement over the previous kit, now allowing for full EATX motherboards. The larger system also provides enough space for the builder to mount the power supply on the motherboard tray itself, making it easier to maintain the PC. Puget said that it even has twice the cooling power than seen with V2.
But how does this setup work? "The cooling module pumps the mineral oil through an external radiator, which provides excellent and quiet cooling," Puget said. "We have verified adequate cooling with the most extreme hardware on the market at the time we built our test system."
The test system included dual Intel Xeon X5677 CPUs, 12GB of DDR3-1600 RAM, and dual ATI 5870 video cards.
Puget also provides a warning on the kit's product page, claiming that--in addition to voiding the warranty--mineral oil is very difficult (if not impossible) to clean from the components once they're submerged. System builders wanting to take the chance will need $671.46 to get started. For more information, head here.

Dear Spammers,
You won't find customers for your new fashion items.
Back to the aquarium PC article, is there filtration involved?
Dear spammer, can you stop posting your boring sites? Thank you.
That's a big PC.
Dear Saddo's / Spammers,
please keep your junk fake goods adverts off this website - this is a forum for PC / Tech enthusiasts - not for people looking to by cheap fake goods.
LOL Rab.
Since there are blind cave fish that live in caves, what would be cool is if there are fish that live in mineral oil, especially neon ones, and then this PC case would rock, know I mean?
Dear Spammers,
Do you guys sell spamming filter or anti-spam software? If so, TH needs to order the whole store. You guys are unbelievable!
No, they just need better forum software, or at the very least, better moderation.
