Maybe, if you spill enough beer, the pc will think it's the best one ever made, and will automaticly overclock way over it's limits! But then, it would still brake down.... (but you'll have a super computer for like a split second!)

Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to enjoy that split second since you would be electrocuted instantly. :lol:

Lol I just remembered a funny story when you guys are talking about spilling water and beer in your system.

I have a bud who has a family run custom cabinetry shop (http://www.baioccocustom.com shameless plug!) and I built a few systems for them and taught him how in the process. Anyways, he goes to put in new ram or something one night after work, and of course he's drinking a beer as he always is at work (lol) and he spills the beer right onto the motherboard.

He's not an idiot, and he understands that any type of stuff on the computer is going to short it, so he tries his best to dry it up using compressed air and stuff but the idiot doesn't wait long enough though and of course turns it on and poof, it's toast. The dumb guy should have at least waited until the next day for it to dry...oh well it was an old comp anyways.

If I had the money, I'd run a non-conductive fluid in a watercooling setup. That way even if it did leak, it wouldn't knacker the hardware. :)

It's finding enough of the stuff, though...
