Has anyone setup a watercooling system with negative pressurized air in the reservoir? It would be a good idea since any leaks would involve air going in, not water coming out. It may have other advantages such as removing dissolved gases from the water. To prevent bubbles in the lines, the water could be exposed to vacuum before filling the system. Could also setup a kill switch that cuts power to the PC when the pressure gets too high( from a leak )

Only hardware difference would be hoses that won't collapse. You'd probably have to make sure the pump's motor housing is completely sealed. Depending on how low the pressure is, it might suck air through to rotor seal. You would need a fitting to suck the air out of.
