Butcher, you know what DeIonized water is??? cause its not just distilled... Distilling is the first phase, its filtered and and processed untill all impurities are out of it. De-ionized is normally called "UltraPure" water.
The inside of your waterblock, lines, pump, fittings all have oxides, mold lubricants, machining oil residue and contaminates.
De-ionized water would be good if you were putting it into a perfectly sterile and clean sealed system. Once you put it into a normal cooling system is picks up so much contamination that it soon becomes no better than distilled water would be. I am just saying use Distilled and water wetter, there is no reason to use De-Ionized water. With water wetter even tap water can be used ( althought I wouldnt use it in my systems).
