Wow, that sucks. Wouldn't that fall under warranty? Also, if you're using just pure distilled water, it doesn't conduct electricity very well, and shouldn't hurt your computer. But most people use additives of some kind. Inexpensive Water Wetter is usually a good choice, antifreeze is overkill and doesn't conduct heat as well as water. So an antifreeze/water mix isn't as efficient as pure water or water + Redline-style additive.
