I'm considering oil-cooling my DP 2.5 PMG5. This would involve
putting the computer (sans ports, hdd, cd) in a tub of mineral oil.
It doesn't conduct electricity, and as such would be perfect for
this use. It has been done many times with PCs; does anyone know
anything that may keep the G5 from working optimally?

Sounds like a radical cooling solution. I would love to see a picture
of it setup and working with this "oil-cooling" and text explaining
all changes that were required to set it up. I own a dual 2.7GHz G5
and partially working dual 2.5GHz G5 that both have liquid cooling
pumps from Apple, so I would be very interested in what ever you do to
modify the cooling on your DP 2.5GHz PowerMac G5. Sorry I don't have
any advice for you, but if this method works for PC's, I don't see why
it would not work for the G5.
