"What happens when you seal tight a PC case, strip out the fans and add eight gallons of cooking oil? You get a totally silent and cool PC. If you don't believe me, check out the video of a working AMD Athlon FX-55 and GeForce 6800 Ultra system submerged in an oil-filled case--or should i say tank."

Rest the pc cabinet on its side, fill with oil after sealing the sides,use an intel ee cpu overclocked to triple its value and use four ram sticks. remove all fans and coolers. Now u can make puri's and vadas
