I came up with the idea of water cooling my computer, and having an external aquarium filled with Mineral oil, and cool my radiators in the Mineral oil. Would this be a good idea or would it just be better to just have water cooling, and the fans?

If you put the water radiator into the tank of mineral oil, soon you will have a tank of hot mineral oil.
You're trading the entire air mass of your house or apartment for the very small mass of the mineral oil tank.

Somehow, you need to get the heat out of that.
