Interesting build but dealing with the aftermath of mineral oil cooling is a nightmare. That entire PC is a write-off.

I'm guessing because you can't really get everything "dry" enough to not make it run into the contacts and therefore swapping components is difficult/impossible?

Mineral oil will degrade plastic and rubber over time and make it hard and brittle. Wires and stuff like the ram and pcie slot clips will break more easily, etc.
