i had a similar incident, just the other day. i reset the defaults on my BIOS and not remembering that the event wake up was enabled i let for a short time to sit and watch tv. the phone rings, meanwhile the dryer is running. i did not hear my comp come on when the phone rang. (the power cable was not hooked up so the pump would not turn on)
later i approach the comp only to find it on (oh, SH*T!). I rush to shut her down, then feal the copper waterblock to check the temp. the WB was still cool so i was lucky. i turned it back on knowing the pump would not work to change the BIOS settings. I was lucky!
the reasion i had no power cable is because i am simply short one in my house. havn't gone to get one yet, so the cables get shared periodically.

As to watercooling going mainstream:
We are truely dedicated to it, we know everything, and we have perfected it.
