Check out this crazy PC from high end computer manufacturer Hardcore Computer, The Reactor.

The Reactor is a liquid cooled PC, where all of the PCs internal parts are completely submerged in a custom dielectric fluid.

Hardcore Computer, Inc. submerged all of the heat-producing components ” the CPU, motherboard, video card, memory and power supplies ” in a custom dielectric fluid they have named Core Coolant, eliminating heat-related computing limitations. Reactor incorporates the benefits of liquid submersion cooling with twin additive and redundant server-class 650Watt power supplies; audiophile-quality Creative Labs X-Fi, EAX, 7.1-channel Dolby® digital surround sound embedded on the motherboard; three on-board SATA solid-state drives configured in an ultra-fast RAID 0 array; and two truly hot-swappable external hard drives.

Form following function, Reactor has a distinctive look. Locating the majority of I/O on the top of the case for easy access resulted in the unique Spinal Cord cable management system, another industry first for a desktop system. Also on the case top are optional, dual, diversity Wi-Fi antennas. The system chassis incorporates handles that serve as a means for transporting Reactor. The handles also aid in the removal of the system core, which includes all of the computers active components, from the liquid for maintenance or upgrades. Over-clocking enthusiasts will appreciate a CMOS battery and BIOS reset switch located on the lid, inside a push-push access hatch door. Reactor also sports user-selectable internal tank and chassis base lights.

If you want one of these crazy PCs its going to set you back around $4,500, and for that you get a choice of Intel Core 2 Extreme processors, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and the choice of up to three GeForce GTX 280 graphics cards.
