I know that I accidently posted this in the wrong forum, thought I would post it in the correct forum location... (Sorry Admin)

I don't know if any1 has ever heard of this idea or the website that the idea has come from... Tom's hardware is the only thing I can remember bout the site.. something about disabling all fans on ur pc, and fully submerging it into a container filled with a fluid called fluorintine and of course circulating it to keep it cold. has any1 yet done this or come up with a reasonable concept?

From my understanding fluorintine a totally purified liquid much like water but w/o any iron content or corrosive materials that allows your mobo and peripheral to be unharmed and still fully functioning. Understanding that the HD, CD, DVD, etc... are not submerged with the mobo and such since they do have parts that require rotation at high speed (fluid causing friction that could lower the reading speed on such?).

I would think that if this is possible that it would be the ultimate liquid cooled PC that literally making overclocking look like it was almost meant to be.

TeamATi has made one for lan events. (Before Toms Hardware)

All fans were left on for it to circulated the liquid better.

OK off subject and wrong forum but I have to ask... Did AMD buy Nvidia and ATi? If so now what?

AMD bought ATi not Nvidia. TeamATi didnt use smelly vegetable oil, but I can't we what they used it has never been said. All the bull crap that Toms hardware did was unnecessary like siliconing the CPU on the motherboard and unhooking the fans/ plus ours had coolers hooked up on it to keep it nice and cold.
