    A quick search and you will see this topic has been mentioned many times.

    The Puget one is mentioned under tweaking and modding.

    The limitations are mainly practicality. Oil is obviously a better working fluid than air for transporting heat, but its a bit messier to work with.

    The best thing is, it doubles up as a deep fat fryer.

    This has been around for the best part of 10 years now. And im thinking about taking up this for the laugh, i just have to wait for 2 more of the girlfriends fishes to die :p

    Would like to stick the media centre pc into it and have it somewhere near the tv. Would get a few strange looks from friends and reletives calling over.

    Just read somewhere:


    Remember, Oil is extremely flammable. Should I be worried?

    Only if you start cooking chips in like the guy above .... its flammable alright but the flashpoint is quite high , in " normal " operation , if you can actually call anthing about this normal , you shouldnt get to those temps.

    Id be inclined to go the machine oil route and not the cooking oil route though , first off it will take away the temptation to do snacks in it :D

    And second it wont smell so much , and cooking oil will pong a bit after a while.
