A sprinkler leak in a computer room is bad, but just imagine the damage that seawater would do. Even a fine mist would be dreadful, as it would be sucked through the cases and the droplets would either short things out immediately, or lead inevitably to corroded metal throughout the machine. To use seawater to cool a room safely it would have to be well isolated, exchanging heat with a loop of much more innocuous fluid that actually enters the room.
