I was making a Howard Hughes reference but I'll take him over Howard; he looks more rugged. :D

I've been told by people that you can cool computers by suspending the circuitry in oil. That method would require a sealed environment, so in theory this could be a dust-free solution. But I have no idea if it's a real method or how practical it is.

Back pain, pain from several hard tumbles, arthritis, bruising, sprains, ect. Basically anything that can hurt has been in some way unless I start alternating between pain meds and occasional alcohol.

Staying in bed for a few days or considering X-Rays, spine massage therapy, and a couple of splints for a finger and a toe.

well i hope things get better soon

as for oil cooling its possible with mineral oil but rather impractical
i wonder if ssd's are submersible

I imagine HDD's aren't because they rely on moving parts, and it takes as little as a single fleck of dust to ruin the memory. They are probably sealed, but not water tight. I don't know enough about SSD's to give you a start of understanding.

and off course the disaster if the reservoir accidentially breaks or cracks
mineral oil all over the damn place

its better then water but not by much

they are:
Primary storage for the machine looks to the future as well. You can boot to either of the 3.5-inch drives in the box but power users will likely use SSDs so Hardcore has three 2.5-inch slots which it outfitted with three Samsung SLC-based SSD drives. These are also submerged and hidden behind a door on the back side of the motherboard. Since mechanical hard drives would not survive in liquid, it’s not recommend that you try to stuff a standard drive in these bays.

The Reactor uses three Samsung SSD drives mounted behind the motherboard for the primary drives. These are also submersed in oil so we don’t think you should try it with a hard drive as the read heads would likely drown.
