Anyone read about that article? I have no idea how new or old it is, but it certainly caught my eye when I read "silent". Granted most people that say "silent" cannot be trusted (especially THG), but with no fans I can't help but wonder? Any comments?

The "Oil PC" is like a floater in your toilet bowl, no matter how many times you flush it always surfaces again.
It works on exactly the same principle as watercooling, only using a different heat transfer medium. Also, depending on the type of oil you use, you would have to change it every 30 days, maybe less. For the same reasons as watercooling setups are not silent, this is not. If they don't have pumps you are again relying on convection alone, and the heat will soon build up and fry your components. Not to mention the difficulty of wholly submerging hard drives, power supplies, etc.
