Input on water cooled PC... not the normal way

I've got an old spare PC from my network plus class and I'm toying with the idea of building a computer in 100% distilled water as it's not sposed to conduct electricity. Does any1 have an input/ideas/advice/comments? It'll have to be done in a fairly sterile environment after talking it over with the head physics teacher, but if it does work I Think it would be really freaking cool to make a P4 3.4 Ghz machine and over clock it to the max. Input please??? If you're wondering how I plan on getting 100% distilled water there is a water treatment plant about 10 minutes down the road from me.

I have seen it done in distilled water and some sort of oil before. I personally dont think it is worth the risk, but it would be very cool.

would be a neat project, but the trouble would be getting all of the components and the case completely free of contaminants before putting in the dH2O...and that could be quite a challenge.

i think you want deionized water...not just distilled.

This would have to be built completely airtight to prevent the water picking up impurities. Personally, I dont see why you shouldnt buy a waterblock, easier, safer, etc.

water block? I think it's been done in veggie oil but maybe I do need Dionized water. If any1 knows for sure lemme know. Well I wouldn't change it with the P4, I'd use this old junker that I brought home first.

Demmineralized...Distilled...And Dionized!

Needs to be pure...So just include all of the above... Ask your Sci. Teacher

yea we only have 95% distilled water. I have to go to the water treatment plant up the road to get it. Hopefully I can.
