I've heard of water-cooled PC's but leave it to IBM to pioneer a 
technology for the midrange community!
My wife worked at a place where they had a soda fountain hooked up for 
staff and special event use.  Whoever did the plumbing on it did something 
wrong because it ended up leaking.  It was on the 3rd floor of the 
building and got hooked up on a Saturday.  When they came in on Monday 
morning it looked like it was raining on the two lower floors.  Luckily, 
there was mostly open space, metal and plastic furniture below and not a 
lot of damage.  Mostly soaked carpets.
