nah i just cant be asked 2 look into it since it was tested on another vid and water started building up on the top, since its a heterogenious mix, i guess the time it takes 2 build up depends on the humidity and location.

if you bothered to go to the site, you would have had an answer, not to be a mean person on my part, just saying =]
Anyways, the answer is no. They tested it for over a year, and even made a second one, with no problems. With a radiator attached to the tank to cool the oil it runs in the 40C range on load. This is an amazing thing, but is costly if you buy a custom tank from them (500 bucks)

Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, attempt to submerge a computer in MINERAL WATER. Any contact with water will instantly short out many of the components, and the others will almost surely die soon after if not provide an actual physical danger.
The rig they embled here uses mineral OIL.

this is a true thing you can do this because they do the same thing with transformers they submerge them in mineral water.
the only things you cant submerge that has to do with the computer so far is the hard drive and the cd drive because of the way they are built.
