Not a good idea for so many reasons...

In the video he said you can see the currents of hot and cold oil - imagine that in your imaging path.

In the computer the only moving parts were fans. Doesn't matter if they move a little more sluggish as long as they're still circulating the oil. In a camera the timing of the moving parts is absolutely essential. To everything.

Even if there were no currents in the oil, that's a lot of liquid, no matter how clear or good quality it appears to be to the naked eye, that will degrade your image. It's bad enough when you add more optical quality glass or filters in the imaging train.

You won't be able to use that camera for "normal" photography ever again.

It's not portable. Oil everywhere.

It'll become heavier - balancing might get thrown out of whack with a bag full of moving oil. Even if it was a container or something.

Sloshing around as you slew or guiding.

The list goes on. All that risk for what? A cooler chip? So what?

You'll just be trashing your beautiful 40D. I'll cry.
