my little brother came up with an ingenius way to solve this problem. at school he made a water sensor circuit and he placed it into the res on his PC where the water would splash up the side as the water flowed into it. he then hooked it up to the sleep button and low and behold, as soon as he shut off the pump the computer went into standby. he now has it set so that the computer shuts itself down safely when the standby button is tripped.

he sure is smart for a 12 year old.
