Those guys were at SC09. There is one reason above all else why oil cooling like this will never work it's just too messy. If you touched anything at that booth, you were almost guaranteed to get oil on your hands. There were plenty of paper towels being handed out at that booth. And imagine taking a system out of the oil to replace components. Can you imagine trying to replace a slippery hard drive or CPU? Think of all those little damn screws that you always drop into the case when trying to reattach something. Now add some oily slipperyness. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
