ok, leak detection 101

most hobbist electronics stores have water sensor kits for ~$10 that have 2 contacts and sound an alarm when wet
- use pieces of screen insulated with a paper towel on the contacts, and tape to the underside of all wbs, etc. near the mobo or video card

this can be rigged for a hard shut down as well

(works to preclude disasters on unattended test benches as well)
