Will it only turn on if you burn incense and recite the proper machine rites in a properly penitent fashion?

**stonefox**

Why not just start with a blue case? It's probably better moneywise with the time spent and frustrations experienced.

Steam punk....

You mean like this?

Of course if overheating is an issue

**stonefox**

You know, I look at that and will be amazed if the tubes actually do something (MechE student, glorification of mechanical gears and having a hard-on for camshafts, etc). If they're there for liquid cooling or the top portion houses an external hard drive, sweet. But if the tubes are there just for show then I'll just laugh.

**legoburner**

The ones on the right of the first image are very likely for liquid cooling - that looks like one of the standard, general configurations for an external radiator.

So sweet, just need a way yo keep the oil from heating up in the end.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Throw in some chips (or fries as you whacky americans insist on calling them) in and enjoy the bounty.

To keep the oil cool you can actually use that air bubble system that they put in at the end. If you put the intake the the aeration system somewhere outside of the aquarium where you can expect there to be cool air, the forced convection of the air into the oil should pull out a good amount of heat. This coupled with the general flow patterns in the oil due to both the air bubble flow and the movement created by the fans should circulate the oil enough to keep you from getting any heat buildup. You may need to remove the aquarium cover to let the hot air out once it escapes but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.
