There were some interesting Aquarium PCs back in the day where they actually put the motherboard IN the aquarium, filled with mineral oil. No live fish, obviously, but the oil isn't conductive and the cooling fans actually worked fine to circulate the oil and cool the PC. Maybe something to recreate in the future...

[@UNSCPILOT]

As I understand it the Mineral oil quickly made all the plastics brittle and caused a lot of stuff to fail prematurely, and that can extend to the tank or adhesives too so catastrophic leaks were a potential and that stuff is a pain to clean up, that might be why it didn't really stick around

Should have a French gutter between the tank and computer. Would not help with a catastrophic failure but would ensure a errant drop never makes it into the computer.

If you have the time and resources.

The issue with this tank would be the temperature differentials.

This case is so cool. I'm only a little disappointed you can't use the aquarium portion as a water cooling reservoir.

[@СузаннаСергеевна]

It will collect a lot of dust, which is something you don't want in your loop. It will clog the microfins in your CPU block. You also would have to be careful about which decorations to put inside the tank, or you'll make your coolant conductive. That's not as risky as it sounds, but still probably not a thing you want. Radiator-less cooling loops kind of work, but frankly you'd be better off getting something like a Mo-Ra 3 420. It's a humongous radiator which holds something like two litres of water, and has enough surface area to even work completely passively. My computer at full load draws about 800W, but even after several hours of crunching numbers my Mo-Ra never needs to spin the fans up above 300rpm, which is the minimum they can do. It's a very effective piece of kit.

It’d be nice for a garden, like a PC succulent box. That way you can use the grow light, minimize water and keep something that doesn’t mind the higher temperatures

[@GoingtoHecq]

I think that this fish tank looks awesome and makes a great fish tank. Not so much a computer. I just like the computer case as a nice space too keep all the extra fish tank components. I also like the design of clear box on top of opaque box for a computer. Hide the power supply and drives, have all the rgb accessories up top. The mixing of the two seems hazardous though but this is a product purely made as a status symbol.

Too small tho

[@Nerdtend0]

@@ida6950 I was thinking that too. Could maybe put some brine shrimp lol

[@lotus7781]

... well, not a good fishtank either, its rather small, not even a single goldfish would exactly live very happily in that

[@luibossa]

This might be your best video yet

[@OriginalLictre]

A splendid example of computer-related structural Chinesium. I was actually surprised that the tank didn't leak, and the 'fishtank' didn't manage to fall down onto the computer components within the testing period. "Chinesium" is a term I've encountered for China-sourced anything that is of suspect strength, durability, endurance or reliability.

I'm no aquarium expert, but 3.5 gallons seems very small for a fish tank. I worry that some people who don't know any better will try putting a bunch of fish unsuitable for that kind of environment in one of these things.

[@Safetytrousers]

I recently looked after a cat and I had to feed the boy's fish. It was a tank smaller than this and the one fish left was about 4mm long.

[@jehjehfish]

Yeah you could probably only put a single Betta fish in this thing. Maybe a snail or couple shrimp to go along with it

[@anumeon]

I suppose that the movie to play on this computer would be Waterworld.. :D

[@carltonleboss]

Wouldn't Finding Nemo be more appropriate?

[@anumeon]

@@carltonleboss Or Little Mermaid i suppose.

[@VulpisFoxfire]

Well, if you notice, he did run Insaniquarium and an Aquarium screensaver. :-)

[@webfischi]

What boards did they test this with? Every standard MiniITX board has the 24 pin in that same location. If I had to guess they just measured from the most right pin of the PSU to the most left pin on the mainboard, and neither added the additional length needed for the cable sticking out the top nor the longer cables needed to the outer pins.

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

superior chinese engineering ;)

[@HopeSee-Productions]

That was the most entertaining video I've seen funny humorous an intelligent at the same time, I'm saving this one.

[@excess_alex.mp4]

Clint when you went to turn on the water I died 😭 Great video!

[@Artista_Frustrado]

so on one hand i love that is essentially two separated boxes, on the other hand i also wanted it to be more integrated so the tank is actually a cooler either way I love this dumb case & the whole concept of Diorama PCs
