If he had tried that with pure water, his computer might still be working, beside being very hot and very heavy. It's the imperfections in tap water (lead, dolphin piss, etc) that cause electrical components to go haywire, because lead is a metal, and metals conduct electricity. It's just tap water that is conductive. Pure water isn't conductive at all.

Just another reason to stock up on bottled water from Evian :)

Advice for him - send his PC back to base. He's too stupid to own one.

Either that or this is one of the best wind ups I have ever read. This is the funniest thing I've read in ages!

Edit : Yep, wind up. Comedy Gold :lol :lol :lol

That's a good idea, liquid nitrogen, that and hot ice. Add a hollowed out thick box of styrafoam as the case and you'd be on to something that could stay very cold. When I worked with cancer biologists they used to ship samples inside of thick hollowed styrafoam boxes with hot ice, I believe.

Hot ice? Don't you mean dry ice?

Looks like it's become quite a popular thread, as the board has disallowed guests the ability to view threads.
