It certainly is.   And, I suppose, this will work, for a while, as long as:

The "sealed cabinet", has enough expansion capacity for the oil to expand from 
heating;
Has enough surface area to effectively radiate the heat that is continuously 
generated, 
(else the temperature of the oil will continue to rise . . .(sound familiar?))

The components can withstand continuous (24x7x365) immersion in a heated 
liquid.  A solvent, basically.
The oil will eventually compromise the integrity of most, if not all of the 
components.

Not the best of ideas, IMHO
