Are you talking about the problems with the VIA chipset, or something else that i'm not aware of?

im buying a second monitor
what is the process of hooking up two monitors

It's pretty straight forward, same process as installing any monitor, you just need to make sure your GPU has enough output things

what if you just submerged your entire rig in mineral oil and put it in the freezer?

I don't think the fans would be able to turn anymore :l

They wouldn't have to. The natural convection would stirr the mineral oil around, and the freezer would remove any excess heat.
The only bad thing about mineral oil is if you need to change something on your computer, i.e. RAM.
And due to the big aquarium-like case and the freezer outside, the computer wouldn't be very portable.
