Right, im a total noob when it comes to water cooling so i would like some help from someone with what i exactly need for the best + simplest unit to use.

It needs to be something that can be moved easily aswell as i go to a lot of UK Lan events and will be moving the PC up and down the country a lot.

Needs to cover CPU, GFX and a guess the Northbridge as well.

Like i say i really dont know how they work but i feel i need it as my room is just so warm it starting to concern me. I currently have a Artic Cooler on my x800 and a SL-120 + 120mm Delta Fan on my CPU and although it keep the system kinda cool (around 30/40degrees) its making the room a lot warmer as it just pushing out the warm air into the room and as i have no window or decent ventilation it of course build up after some time.

So any suggestions on kit and pricing would be great
 
if your new and want performance i recommend the swiftech Apex Ultra from OcUK, the performance of a custom kit in a box, comes with only CPU block but you can just get a VGA for pretty easily. north bridge cooling in my opinion is pointless just adds extra restriction. and as for moving once the kit is installed in your pc you can move it as much as you wish without fear of leaks. :) swiftech kit is about £150, and a VGA block about £40 maybe cheaper from the MM
 
Would it not be wise to drain the system when you moving it though? i have no idea what is the best practise with watercooling, i assume you need to change the fluid every so often?
