Leave it to the professionals. I think this is way too easy to ruin lots of costy parts.

You could technically put your computer parts in any 'case' that you wanted to. I wouldn't advise something like this because of the high potential for things to go wrong.

Do you mean that it has 21C idle temp? Cause I get that with a normal fan so isn't too impressive.

It is done with mineral oil, It isn't worth it in the long run however.

Spend your money on good air cooling (AIO if you must) or custom water cooling if your budget allows.

I wouldnt say its a bad idea but if you figure that a bottle of mineral oil is 10$ for 16oz and a nice fish tank is around 30$ (lets say its 3 gallons)
you would need 384oz of mineral oil to fill the tank.
If my math is correct, the total comes out to 270$ including the tank.

Realistically it does look cool and if the vanity is worth the extra money to you it wouldnt be a terrible idea.

Yeah Its a really fun build but I do not recommended If your good at water cooling this is like the next step up. all the parts are in mineral oil but the harddrive due to that would break

If you want to get into this type of thing best start with really cheap parts

Update wrote I have seen people build their computer inside of a fish tank, but instead of water they use mineral oil, and it runs perfect. They get a cpu temp around 21 Celsius. Do you think is a bad idea or should i try it?

It's a bad idea. You can't use any moving parts such as an HDD but for storage but you can use an SSD with no problem. A HUGE downside to doing this is the parts take weeks to dry out and even then you wouldn't want to use them inside a case you spent 100's of dollars on.. If you have the money and are going to leave it in one spot, what the hell? Don't do it if you have no clue what you doing, you'll end up ruining everything lol. Post pictures and a video if you decide to do it.

EDIT: Check out a video on the LinusTechTips youtube channel, Slick, his helper/assistant or whatever you want to call him built a mineral oil pc.

EDIT2: I've seen a person in my town who has a huge 400 gallon bow-front fish tank with african chiclids in it. He modified it with custom made glass and other parts. He has a computer and fish in the same tank, Freshwater and mineral oil. If i can get in touch with him ill try to get some pictures and post them here, It was absolutley amazing. He has several 100 hours into modifying the glass and other pieces.

You can use the a hard-drive it just cant be in the mineral water so you can attach it to the top of the fish tank or behind it

I know that you can use a HDD but it looks ugly sitting outside of the tank. Looks much better if you use an SSD
