I think the more recent liquid cooled large computers use silicon oil
instead of water because of its better dielectric properties and lack of
corrosion. I'm sure silicon oil doesn't have the heat transfer qualities
of water (very hard to beat) though. That was a late model Cray, but
since Cray seems to be out of the market and has been for a while, that
might give credence to the description as "old." The most recent desktop
PCs have made a few year old mainframe computer look slow and puny.
