you could also use de-ionized water... but I figured I'd cry too much if dust deposited a significant amount of electrolytes and zap

Wonder how much over-clocking that can take.

Wow. I bet that's a lot less expensive than immersing it in Fluorinert.

Which oil would you have to use? They wouldn't all be good, as some would probably still conduct electricity, or play havock with the computer parts.

Pretty much any oil is fine given the relatively low voltages found in a computer, the only thing to worry about is the oil slowly degrading and gumming up various parts, and that can be prevented by keeping the case airtight. Personally I'd use mineral oil or the soy-based oils they now use in high voltage capacitors and transformers.
