You have to see this...
It's a computer submerged in cooking oil! Motherboard and all... well except the monitor and peripherals.:P
It's a pretty old idea, on tomshardware, but I didn't see it untill now.:)
So you take your PC, strip out the fans, add some gallons of cooking oil and there you have it. Turns out that oil is a very good isolator. Of course it has to be very clean, any impurities can cause a short. The PC was benchmarked while in this state and got some pretty good results too. Best part: no sounds whatsoever: the most silent PC ever built!:D Bad part: the oil smells... and if you have a leak... well... you know.
What do you think?
Would you do something like that with your computer?

Thats from tom's harware,I like that site.
Was intresting watching the video on it. Having to make a special case in order to seal all the cooking oil inside.
To your question...
Yeah I would if I was gaim enough, I know somehow I would stuff something up, probably forget to seal a hole up and then it would just leak.
