Water does not conduct electricity.

The point at which it theoretically would conduct electricity is far beyond the point of electrolysis which means that the water would change into Hydrogen and Oxygen gases and it would no longer be water. Drinking water and most other "types" of water do conduct, but not because of the water, only because of the other stuff. Distilled water is supposed to be completely pure, but even though the manufacturing process isn't perfect, it is clean enough that by all practical means, it will not conduct. So I hope that answers your question, Keefe, that I agree that you need 100% pure water to not conduct electricity, but distilled water won't be enough to harm a computer.

No matter what, when I build my own personal system, I'm going to use water cooling, but I am going to put the radiator in something super-cool like an air conditioning and keep my entire system running at below freezing temperatures.

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.
