New Meaning for “Greasy PC”

This is over a year old but I was searching for “Greasy PC” in Google just to see what came up. Obviously this blog came up but even more interesting was another result. A real, working, totally submerged in grease PC. The boys over at Tom’s Hardware Guide definitely had some fun with this one.

This would actually be an awesome computer to make. Upgrading would be a nasty and annoying process, not to mention greasy, but, it would definitely be a PC to start conversations around. The hard part would be getting the back of the PCI cards to work, while the inside of the computer was completely filled with vegetable oil. Aside from your power supply the PC would be completely silent. I wonder what the long term effects would be on the hardware though. My guess would be that after a while it might not work as well as it did originally. Even so I still want to try this. Maybe I’ll bust out my 700MhZ computer from 1999 and see if it knows how to breath under water.. er oil.
