Well I suppose they can, but it's typically distilled water and a coolant.
Also, I got my replacement radiator yesterday and got everything up and running, no leaks :D
Unfortunately, the motherboard fried :(
dennis:
Yikes. Looks like a short circuit to a power trace.

Ok, I've come to the realization that despite the fact that I want to upgrade my Desktop a ridiculous amount, I honestly have no real need for that kind of power anymore. I still have plenty of PC games I'd like to play as wel as Steam, so I'd prefer either a Mac so I can boot camp, or a decent Laptop. Hell, If i didn't want a decent laptop first, I'm very tempted to get a Asus eee.
Any suggestions you guys have for decent brand options?

My Asus laptop has done me ok so far. There are some fairly sexy things coming out either now or very soon, but that is in my opinion. Aside from performance issues (which can be sorted out fairly simply by examining the specs) PCs and especially laptops are very subjective. The only real way of knowing what it is you like is to go into a few stores to see how each laptop feels. eg, you may try out a laptop that I love and find that the keyboard feels wrong. That sort of thing.
McTaggart:
It gets even more like that when you look at netbooks. Every 10" netbook I looked at was exactly the same inside (except maybe harddrive type/capacity), the differences were all the keyboards, the look and the build quality. I wish the linux/solid state ones were more widely available though.
My motherboard went and packed up on me last week, no damage, no idea what actually happened but the machine went from sometimes locking up to just not POSTing. Took it in, they replaced it on the spot and this one seems fine (touch wood). Yay.
