Personally, I think these guys are nuts!

Having some form of refriguration on the oil would also seem to help...
BTW, several pages latter, they mention using distilled water, which is probably not the best idea for any long term use. True, it's what's in the water that can lead to the conducting of electricity, however distilled water doesn't tend to remain "pure" for very long. It can also pick stuff up from the atmosphere rather rapidly. The main reason why back in chemistry class and the like, we only kept distilled water around for a short period of time before dumping it.

@Ray they used a DVI-VGA adapter and used silicone and a plexiglass barrier to seal it in...
@SonGoku They tried using the distilled water and 5 minutes later leakage currents forced a hard shutdown, no damage was done, just remember, if they can make purification systems like they use in nuclear power plants, water submersing would be the next "BG THING" in computers, there would be no need for fans.... since the reverse osmosis/filtered water is 99.9999% pure water, it has no conductive properties.... which is why they STILL use water in Nuclear Power Plants.. nothing cools better.... YET...
(that is safe for the environment)
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear reactions create heat to heat water, which turns into steam, which goes through a turbine, which spins...turning the copper armature inside the generator and generating an electric current.
