There are highly insulating fluids on the market for immersion cooling of electronics. It's a specialist item as you might imagine, and has not caught on with the overclocking community.

Since the liquid is normally at room temperature, "traditional" approaches like phase-change and LN2/LH2 are probably going to be a better idea.]]>Jun 21st 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 22nd 2009 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/

To all the people bitching about how the product is overpriced, why don't you just make and equivalent product and undercut their price. If there is such a huge profit margin, you'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Or...maybe when a company makes a specialty product and isn't moving milllions of units, it can't survive on extremely thin profit margins. Or...maybe Stealth is just ripping people off because they are the only game in town; wtf do I know?]]>Jun 21st 2009 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 22nd 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/

Something to be left outside.

Yes, it's expensive, but it's not a high volume device.
And yes, you could make it yourself for alot less money (you've got good knowledge of the right milspec plugs to use?) but if you are buying and installing 50 of these, do you want to do all that?

Just saying, when you see something like this think about what it's target audience is.]]>Jun 21st 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/
I like the fact that they took a consumer, desktop chipset and CPU and spec'ed it from -20C to 75C, just for the hell of it. The components on those boards are 0 to 50C or 0 to 70C, but it is not industrial rated. Then they pick a processor that is not on Intel's embedded roadmap, and if previous report are true, they will discontinue this CPU in 6 months.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/21/stealths-wpc-500f-waterproof-sff-pc-makes-a-splash/Jun 21st 2009 10:21PM
