This reminds me of the old Cray-2 super computer.  The entire machine
about a half dozen racks were flooded with Fluorinert.  This is a
coolant made by 3M.  It looks like water but is inert.  It's a
fluorocarbon.     Cray placed a 1980's vintage mainframe computer in
was was basically an aquarium full of the fluorinert and then pumped
the  fluorinert through heat exchanger that used chilled water.  Cray
place windows on the computer to show off the liquid emersion cooling
system and some places had little plastic toy fish in their tanks.
