is there somewhere to talk to you guys?

can't do that with a mac

LOL YOU GUYS SO MAD BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THEN YOU...

grow up, this isn't fucking kindergarten any more, you stupid fucks. Jesus Christ.

Running a PC like this is defo possible as pure/clean oil does not conduct any electricity the computer will probably run without problems. A minor problem might be the heat distribution from memory, chipset and CPU.

The frying is of course bullshit, the oil will never get that hot without somekind of heater which will destroy the motherboard and the components on it of course.

dumb bitches

all ive read is geekgeekgeekgeekegeekgeekgeek, who gives a shiot bout the cpu? he fucking made fries in the computer goodjob:) geekynerd doods go blow ur self

you can see that the motherboard is not directly on the aluminum pan. It has standoffs.

wow dorks nerds and geeks way to miss a punchline....:|

This works, 38582 is right, oil does not conduct electricity.
The fries is bullshit, the oil will never get this hot, it would fry the motherboard.

wheres the cpu?

The oil wouldn't fry the motherboard, because cooking oil is a non-polar substance, and therefore does not conduct electricity, so there's no way it could cause a short circuit.

Why is this fail? It's not.

what game is that??????

jauaauauajauauajau a nerds

THE COMPUTER IS CERTAINLY NOT RUNNING OF THIS STUPID CONTRAPTION. SOMEONE COULD TRY THIS AT HOME, WITH DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. THE ONLY THING RUNNING IN THIS CONTRAPTION IS THE HOTPLATE. HOW STUPID DO YOU REALLY THINK WE ARE.

That's odd, The motherboard didn't short out on the aluminum pan.

Nice, even with the hotplate it ran, now isolate the fries from the contamination of solder/lead and you got yourself the future of McSuck.

amazing!!

what a big damn mess.

Immersion cooling with oil. The original articled wondered if computers were hot enough to deep-fry some fries (which they can't, which is why the hotplate was required). During the entire thing, the computer still ran.

However, he suggested not eating them because of all that lead and mercury.

fried the motherboard did we?

i feel sorry for you. im sure you'll all have a big laugh over this awesome prank at the next virgin convention though so maybe im the loser here.



lol

omg you really...aw wait that's a hotplate wtf

why do you feel the need to put this shit up here. I mean whats the point of tricking a bunch of noobs into thinking you can fry some fries with a comp. when you didn't. Hotplate is easily visible.

NO ONE ATTEMPT THIS! DO NOT EAT FOOD FRIED IN COMPUTERS! COMPUTERS CONTAIN MERCURY. MERCURY WILL KILL YOU!

This is not a public service announcement, and I do not hold myself accountable for anyones stupidity.

There's one stick of RAM in that. Is that a Pentium 2?

lol... nobody sees the lack of ram?

hotplate epic fail

that is so fucking awesome it's not even funny.

Yes, the processor would be safe, in oil cooled computers the only components you have to seal (or leave external of the oil) are the moving components, such as the hard drive and optical drives.

hotplate fail

my first gen macbookpro can actually fry eggs on the back of it albeit slowly. doubt yours would heat a vat of oil.

haha edit the hotplate out before you go posting this shit lmao.

it happened the other day that i was driving i dropeed fries on my pants in the car lol! they didnt burn though.

can some one tell will the processor also b safe? and wer is it in the pics i cant find it

yup i see hot plate, fail

lol yeah the hotplate :D

if that's happening, and you're able to run those compy correctly without fail by oil... win

Oil Cooled computer. The oil doesn't short out the circuits, because Oil doesn't conduct electricity.

mmmm, lead solder....

The sad thing is; it worked.

lol excellent. got me hungry

def gross...

if that's happening, and you're able to run those compy correctly without fail by oil... win

on pic 4 you can see the electric hotplate.
FAIL

Lol'd!

Those old P-3s sure put out a lot of heat.... Lol.

gross...
