The common misconception....computers only hydrate by way of soda. Water won't do them any good and may actually clog their circuits with harmful deposits.
Actually, in all seriousness there are computers that are immersion cooling. You can use liquids like Flourinert and just dump your whole computer in it to cool it (not hard drives and optical disks though). In theory you could also use pure water since pure water doesn't conduct electricity, but since it gets contaminated so easily it is impractical.
