Submerged mineral oil PC - but EE what would say on it? Finally...

What a complete and utter waste of time and resources. By the time ANYTHING has even come CLOSE to burning or wearing out, you will have retired your old PC and bought a new one.
There's a reason SUCH a tiny percentage of people would even bother to engage in this nonsense - because it's just DAFT and redundant. If you want a more capable or better designed PC, BUY A MORE CAPABLE OR BETTER DESIGNED PC!

I suppose the extreme overclocking is a bit like drag racing. Drag cars are completely useless for anything other than blasting down a straight bit of track as fast as possible, it costs a fortune, it's pointless from any practical aspect but some people find it entertaining. I have no interest in dunking my PC in liquid nitrogen to try to push it briefly to crazy speeds but to each their own.

I could not have put it any better! Well done sir. :-+

The comparisons seem to ignore the real breakthrough in CPU cooling which is heat pipes.
Since those use the latent energy of water their ability to move heat is only bettered by a powered heat pump (A/C). And even the unpowered heat pipes can be bettered by using a lower flash point liquid like ammonia (like absorption refrigerators) - which fortunately is not even necessary.
When applied properly a decent heat pipe can take a 70C CPU and drop it to Under 40C. That is some massive Wattage...
Even water systems don't come close. 4.184 Joules/degree C/gram. Yuck.
Compare that with the latent heat of vaporization of water - 2257 Joules / Gram.....
