I wonder if the oil PC would be OK being on 24-7? I mean, eventually the oil would get really hot, the case doesn't have much surface are to dissipate the heat. And I don't think I would trust an oil filled PC in my lounge with $3000 of brand new carpet just installed. Imagine waking up and seeing 40 litres of mineral oil soaked through your lounge :/
