FF acrylic will be a little easier to glue though.
remember water is 8lbs a gallon. i'm guessing mineral oil is heavier. the taller the enclosure the more force is applied to the bottom.

Oil floats on top of water so it should be lighter. If you get condensation drops off the cooler they will sink to the bottom and lay on top of your motherboard as little dropslets.
