So water cooling is just for those who either have too much disposable income or just cant stand a little fan noise/install a new fan into their system?

Sometimes it's not about 'not standing' but after you get enough computers the sound becomes a hassle and it's harder to maintain a low ambient temperatures at the computer cluster.
Water cooling allows you to solve both problems (and in extreme conditions) move the entire heat exchange out of the room / building.
/edit: AND SLI'd video cards have a)VERY noisy compact fans and b)VERY hard to properly aircool profiles.

Water cooling is also more efficient at removing heat, so it is beneficial to system stability if you are overclocking on a regular basis.

Yes but if that same system can cause condonsation to happen inside the computer case, which would fry a computer thats on, doesnt the risk outweight the reward?

Condensation only happens if the loop gets to cold. (needs to drop below dew-point, which depending on the humidity is about 3-4 degrees Celcius) If you're dropping that low you are cooling it to hard, slow the pump a tad and it'll go away.

If you're cooling below ambient in a watercooling system then you're using some sort of compressed coolant and a condenser.
It is physically impossible for a pump + radiator + fan + water to cool below the ambient temperature.
Let me put it this way, the only way you will get condensation on a watercooled PC is if you have a perfect system that dissipates 100% of the heat operating in a room with 100% humidity. That is the only point where the dew point is equal to the ambient temperature. At that point, however, EVERYTHING in your room is covered with condensation independant of water cooling.
At every point past there, even with 99.9% humidity, the dew point is still BELOW the ambient temperature, which a water cooling system without condensors can not achieve.
/edit: If you seriously don't believe me when I say that a closed system with water in it has nothing to do with condensation, here's a dew point table:

One inexpensive way I've seen some people water cool is to buy off-the-shelf fittings and parts from a local hardware store. For a radiator, I suggest picking up a Transmission radiator at an auto parts outlet. Radiators for the more common compact car transmissions are usually quite small (20cm x 12 cm x 4cm. or around that size) and use standardized fittings that match the fittings you can buy at a hardware store.
