liquid cooling
why do people get big fancy liquid cooling systems for their PCs? Is it really because they're overclocking like mad and must have state-of-the-art cooling at all costs, or do they just want it to look cool with their neon lights and window kits?

Maybe give some free advice about: ?
I have never come across some one that has that but maybe they just think when it gets to hot it could blow up I dont know that much about it.

Look cool, and keep their comp cool.

Some of it depends on how warm it is in the area your computer's in. Fast processers get really, really hot. And when they get too hot, they overload and your whole computer shuts down (trust me, I have experience with this one). A lot of it, though, is just to see if you CAN. It's not about whether it's the most efficient way to cool, or if you really NEED liquid nitrogen to cool your computer (and yes, I have seen that done), but it's the challenge of actually doing it. I have a computer with a clear acrylic door, and a lot of my parts light up. Why? Because it looks nifty, and the computer is irrefutably home made. And since I can point to all the parts and say what they are and what their specs are, nobody questions the fact that I built it.
Some of it's because the computer needs to be cooled. But there are fans designed for overclocking. Liquid cooling systems are there because they're cool and it's fun to be able to say you have one.

too much of a disparity in the money/style ratio

Depends - sometimes it's for both even. My brothers CPU temperature can reach 50 C, and that's in winter - much hotter, and stuff starts to break.
