No need for a 20... A 5 gallon will do it. I'm actually doing one of those next. Going to put it all in mineral oil. I'll post up pics when I start it.

I have been wonderin somethin... I am going to use a pump to direct flow at a few specific components but for overall circulation would regular fans work in the fluid environment?

I've seen fans submerged in mineral oil before but they were just for looks. I mean they would for sure circulate the liquid but I don't know how efficient it would be.

I know little to nothing about computers, but i know Trent, and i buy him beer, so it's like i do know something. As for high grade mineral oil, my sources (aka THE BIG HAPPY COWBOY) tell me the best place to find it is from a vetrinarian... it's actually used as a horse laxative.
