    Some people out there think that coolant is actually completely non-conductive...

    Well, some of it is, under certain voltages. It's just all the gunk floating in it that's conductive . Put enough juice through it, or get it contaminated and anything is conductive (well, not hard vacuum obviously).

    Under certain conditions de-ionized water is non-conductive. Of course, it tends not to stay that way for very long, particularly in close proximity to a CPU socket.

    Don't open up the bleed screw with one hand on an upside down PA120.2 while holding your drain line in the other, the drain line will discharge water all over you at a what-the-hell-just-happened rate and it's not exactly fun cleaning up the area and checking your components for spillage afterwards (caseless setup)
