[concept] A mercury-cooled computer would be pretty cool.
Aside from the fact that mercury is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very ,very, very, very toxic; it does work good as a coolant.
So let's visualize this:
The entire case has an ancient-Roman style that alludes to the god Mercury.
Frame is made primarily of something like pewter or white ceramic, stylized after architecture such as the Maison Carrée. do a test-bench layout with the motherboard horizontal, with a peaked roof with glass panels.
all piping is made from glass (ideally a pyrex-like mixture if possible), with straight vertical/horizontal piping connected by joints.
because mercury expands a lot when heated have in all four corners a glass resivore pillar-like tube for overflow, sealed with a soft vaccum. bonus if the pillars are textured to have vertical indents, or a pewter sheathe with vertical windows.
Custom pump that is strong enough to push the mercury through.
This is all stacked on top of a horizontal radiator the size of the case, with large enough gaps that fans can easily push air through.
Can anyone visualize it?
