I love custom PC cases, they always make me sad that I have my plain black laptop sitting in front of me. Justin (aka Savral) kindly passed along a link to an amazing Bioshock PC case, created by Redditor Sirleechalot, where the most of the PC components were submerged in mineral oil, along with some other goodies.
“The motherboard and power supply are mounted to an acrylic sheet that sits in the back of the case. The tank is a 5 gallon Marineland tank. I ended up purchasing the mineral oil from ozbo.com. It’s primarily used as a horse laxative. I placed a bunch of calls to local vets, but most of them wanted $18+ per gallon (and also thought i had some nefarious plans for their oil). The Big Daddy (ok, i guess Mr.Bubbles is more appropriate) figure was purchased from Amazon. I went to my local pet store for the tank, bubbler, pump, and gravel. For a power switch, i found an old cable from a computer i had built previously that had a jumper connector on it (the kind that would usually plug in from a case power switch) and soldered the other end to a momentary switch (these can be found at radio shack).”
You’ve got to admit, it does look very impressive.
