sry for another post but i just got an idea. im not sure if you have
seen that you tube video of a guy who put his whole setup in a fish tank
and was using cooking oil i believe to cool everything. would be
interesting to see the 2nd cluster put into a big enough tank and cooled
with oil.

These systems look to have rotating platter hard drives in them.
substitute for solid state drives and you probably have a better chance
of liquid cooling.

I'd guess having vats of cooking oil in an office environment is a no-no
- what oil do radio hams etc. use for cooling dummy loads for high power
RF work?
