or perhaps its just perfectly distilled water? that stuff aint conductive.

its made so firefighters can extinguish high value electronics without ruining them. AKA: Creditcard Storage facilities etc. No high value facility wants firemen to go in and use water on their servers and wipe out half their data or debt.

Thats not dry water... Sorry just water proof monitors...

Man after reading the Wiki article on it, i have to say it sounds like horrible stuff that should never come into contact with anything alive.

@VanguardDragon It is not toxic. You can dry it, might feel a little weird, but you won't have any serious problems.

@camircea having re-read the wiki article, i have no idea why i posted that comment, i'm sure there must have been a reason, perhaps the article has since changed. Seems like cool stuff though!

Is it edible?

so you could run a pc in it instead of using oil?

[thelethalmoo]

I think you can do the same with mineral oil.

It's a fluid developed for extinguishing fires. You could check the Wikipedia-article: Novec_1230 if you want to know more.
