No, it's non-conductive...

There's a clip somewhere from a Japanese show where they have a tank of this stuff, & the presenter "borrows" a mobile phone & drops it in while it's playing video, I'll dig it out & post it...

**edit - close enough, not the game show, but some geeky tradeshow by the looks of it...

Call me odd, but having to call BOC for another tank of nitrogen every time I want to play Crysis doesn't appeal to me.

Just bought a fridge for under the desk with a bloody great big Peltier cooler though, can't look at it without going "hmmmmm" & rubbing my chin thoughtfully... If I could just get past the whole condensation thing.

Another one here using meneral oil, looks good, would any fish live happily in this? (except for the temperatures which may change too hot or cold).

Its Mineral oil, its a 'craze' that has been sweeping the net for about 6 months now, but no one has yet dared to set up a £1500 system like that, they use thier older machines that they arent too bothered if it breaks.

The cheapest solution I have found, babyoil, Its a little thicker than this stuff, but its none conductive and mineral based...
