Ok so I have an idea that is probably (likely) terrible but I can't completely get rid of it.

The idea: Immersion cooling a PC the way they do in data centres using fluorinert but using IPA instead.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinert)

Provided you keep the PC sealed and from building too much pressure. As well as away from sources of fire. I can imagine a PC that boils IPA and condenses it on a large heatsink on the top.

Please tell me why this is a bad idea.

Continuously, with a 90 minute boil.
