Again, I use mineral oil every day. How can it be toxic when I put it on my skin? I might add, my Doctor knows I put it on and he has never mentioned it being toxic. Also, baby oil is mineral oil plus fragrances, which is what I use daily. I can send you a picture of one of my baby oil bottles if you want to see it for yourself. Maybe seeing is believing? If you watch the video I linked to, you will see they put in mineral oil. They didn't say they put in a alternative to mineral oil. They even pull a vacuum on the transformer can to make sure it doesn't leave any moisture or air bubbles in it. I watch that show on TV often and I feel quite certain they would not show that if it were not true and accurate. I'm sorry but I'm going with the info I know to be more accurate. Watching that video says a lot. I'm sure there are other things that can be used but the point is, mineral oil is in common use and has been for a long time. It also doesn't cause shortages when it leaks either which water does. That's why I'm not putting water near my computer, cooling or otherwise.
