I remember seeing a video years ago of someone dunking a powered on Macintosh

You can do the same with mineral oil, I believe. However, unlike Fluorinert,
mineral oil isn't a great heat carrier and may actually be less effective
than air in some cases (especially if you don't have a system to rotate it
out to a radiator).
