If it the small amount present did leak, it would most likely evaporate before anything got damaged.

You really don't know what you're talking about do you? Leakage is a common problem with liquid cooling systems for computers like the one in Apple's dual 2.5 Power Mac, and yes, they can leak all over the bottom of the case.

That's why I was surprised Apple with such a system in the first place. Have you ever seen the hoses and clamps in the Apple system? LOTS of areas for potential leakage.

I'm not saying I believe the AI rumour, but at least criticize it with some relevant facts.
