remember this special non-condictive 3M fluid that can be used to
cool electronics. A group of hackers dunked a complete PC minus the

with liquid nitrogen. They everclocked it something wicked. Not very
practical though. :-)
A number of supercomputers from Cray and Control Data and maybe some
other places used this sort of thing on some experimental systems. I
don't know if any ever were put in to commercial production. They
submerged who boards in to it and then supercooled the fluid. I
don't remember the chemical names.
I do, but have no idea why.

The fluid was a relative of Freon and held sufficient levels of oxygen
to support lung breathers. They used to have a tank with a live mouse
submerged in it bouncing around and seeming to have no trouble not
choking or drowning.
A variation of it was also researched as a blood substitute for some
special medical needs. I don't know how far that went. I know it
is not all fantasy because I saw the live mouse.
I believe you. I saw a similar scene in a movie, so I already knew it
had to be true. Bonus points for anyone that can add to this thread's
collection of off-topic but semi-interesting trivia and name the movie.
I didn't try the blood substitute.
How do you save a drowning mouse?
Use mouse to mouse resuscitation.
Thanks, I'll be here all week. Try the veal instead.
If the the freezer doesn't work I suggest finding an identical drive and
replace the electronic board. Worked for many damaged drives.
