To point out, you don't want to use water. Mineral water will cause the entire thing to blow up the moment you turn it on

 

And as others said, Linus won't cover this again based on the maintenance issues. Also when they first did it, shortly after the makers of that kit, Puget Systems, came under fire from basically a patent troll and they stopped selling them.

Quote

Unfortunately our mineral oil aquarium PC kit project has been alleged to infringe on the patents held by a company who holds several patents related to mineral oil cooling of PCs. They offered to license this technology back to us. We decided to shut down this project instead, because the licensing cost was infeasible for this type of project, and we did not want to set a precedent of paying to license something we conceived and developed on our own.

Why not just get the tank part remade and use the rest of the kit that you have there

They should do an update. With Threadripper and NVMe/M.2 and a Helium drive. DIY not a kit. They wont though.

It will work, just not worthwhile.
