Ummm, I don't think anyone uses ';oil'; to cool their PC's. They use a liquid similar to automotive anti-freeze. Oil is used in cars to lubricate parts that move very fast and produce lots of friction (and heat). In fact, only high-performance vehicles have oil-coolers (mostly turbocharged cars/trucks as turbos use oil to lube their bearings and spin at 100,000rpm+...they also use water cooling).





Liquid cooling is not used on budget gaming PC's, high-end air coolers / heatsinks are, like this:

A computer cooled by oil is not something that really should be attempted by anyone who is not willing to risk destroying everything they put in the machine. Not to mention the possibility of destroying the carpet and anything else in the vicinity if one of the seals on the case should start to leak.





Seeing as how you want to do this on a low-end budget, I doubt you could stand to lose any of the components you are planning on putting in the box.
