It's a Lian-Li case with a window with fake fish. Nothing too exciting, here...

However, isn't distilled water relatively non-conductive? Does that mean that you could run the parts of the computer that don't move submerged in distilled water safely, if you could keep the water free of contaminants?

Oh yeah! You're right. That's Le Chatelier's principle. You're also right about hydronium. I always just pretended that water dissociated into hydrogen and hydroxide instead of hydronium and hydroxide because it made my stoichiometry easier.
Yeah, it was Fritz Haber who had an excellent method of synthesizing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, and got a nobel prize for it even, IIRC. During world war one, he was a patriot and a tremendous asset to germany. He was instrumental in developing poison gas after the introduction of trench warfare. He saw Germany's defeat as a personal failure. He and his staff were world renowned and made many important contributions to physical chemistry. Here's the irony: when the 1930's roll around, the great patriot's contributions are forgotten, and suddenly he's just another "dirty Jew" to the Nazi party. Haber is forced to leave the country.

De-ionized water is one of the best solvents known to man. It will litterally eat everything out of the computer in effort to get some impurities.
My uncle specalizes in water quality. He can get you water that measures 18 megaohms resistence. pour some directly from the pipe to a clean glass and you will measure no more than 12 megaohms. In the short time it takes to measure, water has absorbed that many impurities from the air.
Take the pure water (actually de-ionized, impurities are allowed so long as they are not ions...) and and put it into a computer and it will remove the metal from the etching on the board to get some impurities.
