actually the glycol is to prevent freezing. this would work but would decrease teh cooling efficiency unless you are doing active cooling.
The redline water wetter or PurpleIce are additives meant for cars to reduce surface tension (better cooling) and reduce corrosion (the most important for computers).
but hey... if these additives are really screwing everything up... then maybe glycol mixtures could be a fall back
BUTCHER-- thanks alot for the deionized water info.. i thought it was only available in science stores!!!
