    Yawn.

    Here's an idea for a casemod that would actually impress me:

    Get some expensive pure water, some with NO corrosive dissolved oxygen, and completely electrically neutral, meaning no OH- and H+ ions. I realize that water is self-ionizing, so the removal of these ions might need to be continuous.

    Unpack, assemble, and run your awesome computer in a container full of this stuff.

    I don't care how expensive or chemically unfeasible that would be, but that would actually be impressive. I've heard of computers running submerged in vegetable oil before, since vegetable oil is made of large covalent molecules, but I don't care. I want an underwater computer.
