Probably a dumb idea

Would it be beneficial to submerge your custom loop's radiator(s) and fans in a tank of mineral oil next to your computer.

 

You'd need longer send and return lines and it would be ugly but would it do any good? Just a random thought I had.

If you put the rads in mineral oil you would need to have another loop for the mineral oil so no it wouldn't be beneficial

That's depending on the size of the tank with the oil. I wouldn't do that even though oil has a different viscosity than water, you aren't going to benefit as much as you might think. If you really want to cool your components lower you might want to consider a compressor cooling solution, but this takes some preparation of your hardware...

 

If you have watercooling and you are living in a warmer area, as long as the size of the loop is calculated correctly you'll never run into heat issues.
