If not, I've heard that non-conductive/non-corrosive liquids exist that I can hypothetically immerse a computer in to keep it cool. Is this even possible?

YES, I know water conducts electricity. But I heard that distilled water does not because it doesn't have the salt content.
Don't worry, I won't try this at home.

I use distilled water for my water cooled PC but its not good to give them a bath with it. (as already said)
Danger Den has several Non-Conductive Formulas made for water cooling setups that can help you...

I've never heard of such a liquid, but it should be possible - provided that the liquid can properly displace the heat.
Of course, this is an unrealistic situation because the liquid would cost a lot of money and it makes upgrading your computer a pain in the butt.
EDIT -

The person who wrote the question does not mean to use WATER, but a non-conductive and non-corrosive liquid.

Please No!!!!!!! Water, whether distilled or not is a conductor. It is an easy way to blow out the components and force yourself to buy a new computer. If a computer is running hot, clean it and/or add fans to circulate fresh air.
There is a way to use liquid nitrogen to cool a computer but the average person doesn't have the knowledge nor materials to set it up.

water bath?? No. No. No! Chilled water systems are used in computer systems as "heat exchangers" the water NEVER contacts any component of the computer!
Same with other liquids!

Haven't you ever heard water and electricity aren't the best of friends. Not only will the computer burn; you might just get fried in the process.
