I need lots of info about this, mostly, how dangerous is it for your system. Does it often leak? Is there a way to keep it from leaking, or to keep it from short out the Mobo?

I need a more powerfull cooling unit, and I've been leaning towards watercooling for a long time...just haven't been brave enough to take the step.

Also, what are good brands?

Thanks!

Another problem with water cooling is the condensation. If your CPU temp is more than 5 degree's below ambiant you will develop condensation(if your insulation is poor).

As for an additive to the water, look for a product called "Water Wetter". It conditions the water against corrosion, bacteria, and will add another 5 to 10 % better thermal dynamics to your cooling medium ie(distilled water).
