The first thing that comes to mind is a perfluorocarbon based liquid, But those can cost anywhere from $300-$1,000 a gallon.

White Mineral Oil. Mmmmmmmm, oil will oxidize (deteriorate and turn dark) with the interdiction of air. I wonder if any long term use has been done other than this gizmo-demo.

Is there any other clear, non-conducting liquid you can use other then mineral oil?

This is really cool. The only problem I foresee is if you ever have to do anything with the hardware. Adding Ram would a pain in the ball sac.

It's been discussed in the comments and shown in the video. White mineral oil, a mild laxative normally used for horses.

Fish don't live in oil.

Oil doesn't break down over time, so assuming it's airtight, never. Otherwise whenever it starts getting murky. (As close to airtight is the goal since you don't want the oil grabbing something conductive from the air/area near the case and jamming it into your components.

If it's solid state it has no moving parts, therefore as long as it's normal lifespan (if not better since they run cooler).
