Hi y'all! I'm new to this community because im looking for help. I want to build a mineral oil PC however, I have no clue what parts I exactly need for this setup. I already have the base which is the aquarium. So if you could give me a list of what I will need so I can save up for and go buy I would appreciate it! Please no trolls telling go build something else ok. I want to build this beast ok. If you can give links on where I can buy the radiator and tubes stuff like that.

A few things- 

Welcome to the forums.

Also, I know you don’t want me to say it but I’m going to anyway. Mineral oil is NOT for beginners. Even most experienced PC builders hesitate to build a mineral oil pc because of the difficulty in  building and maintence.

If you really must do this-

-Do a lot more research than asking on a forum

-Get someone to help you build!

-LTT has a great series where they build a mineral oil pc, it shows the process in great detail. That will help you get started.

it's time

This is especially complex because you got to make your own case, a few years ago you could buy a case, then one company which went under and helped to develop the tech sued everyone, and now it is next to impossible to find a premade case. So you will need to probably pick up some fish tank, and modify it and then secure the expensive oil and then go in knowing that you will probably void the warranty on every component you install.

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

I would like to give a personal note that this is not worth it... just build a high end good looking rgb PC.

Thank you for the warm welcome. So a few things, I am no amateur at computer builds. I may be new this forum but not new to PC building. I have done my research on this build and seen the episodes and I understand these kits are no longer available so that's why I joined this forum so I could get some help on where I could get a radiator, tubes and such. I know where I can get the oil but what should of hardware would I need and stuff like that. I asked please don't tell me not to do this build because you're not going to change my mind. If it's my money and my choice who are any of you to tell me no? So please will someone help me with links and dyi instructions on this build? What kind of tray will I need for this build and do you have a link? I understand the warranty void and I don't care about that or the maintenance. Please just help. Thank you
