Freak out your housemates with this DIY Aquarium Computer Cooling system. Everything, including the power supply is in the tank, all except the hard drives. The tank is filled with non-conducting mineral oil which is moved around the tank via the plain old cooling fans, albeit much slower. The standard kit works for every-day PCs, while there’s also an 1337 system for more power-hungry PCs with external coolers to help cool the oil. US$237.50 for the standard system and $511.28 for the high-end. Oh and this will definitely, absolutely and positively void your warranty [Via Tom’s Hardware].

Oh and you’ll also need one of those little divers, some plastic plants and some air-stones to complete the look. I don’t think fish will survive.

Puget Systems is pleased to be offering “do it yourself” kits for our aquarium computer. Puget Systems has been running a mineral oil computer for over a year with no ill effects. In a more recent project, it has allowed us to run an extremely high end system at under 50C with virtually no noise. It has also allowed an overclock of a QX9770 from a stock frequency of 3.2GHz, to an overclocked frequency of 4.6GHz!
