Watercooling Venture

Hey all, I'm slowly getting things together to try watercooling for the first time. I have a full ATX rebranded Lian Li case on the way, and will be water cooling the main system in my sig. I've pretty much set on the fact that I would like to watercool just about everything on this system, CPU, Northbridge, GPU and Voltage Regulators.
Just wanted to see what brands you guys recommend, I have been taking a look at kits and found a Thermaltake kit that looks like a winner. I realize I'll have to get some extra water blocks and such, for chipset, VRU, GPU and would like to get some recommendations.
As far as mounting this kit, I'm planing on obviously mounting the single 120mm rad on the back, but the dual 120 rad I had planned on modding the top of the case and mounting it cleanly up top.

These pictures somewhat show the mounting spot that where I'd like to mount the second radiator, same case.

You need to be looking at independent components for your entire setup. Twin 120mm radiator, a capacious reservoir, 1/2" Dtek or Swiftech waterblocks, tygon tubing, and a good aquarium pump.
This Swiftech kit has a better pump, block and bigger tubing plus a separate reservoir allows for more options when mounting your kit. I think it's a better investment over the long term.
What.
I'd like to use a mid tower case if possible.

This is going to be a computer I will take to LAN parties, using huge heatsinks on my CPU and GPU are out of the question for transporting. Not only that, but I just want to try watercooling.
Do some research. The waterblock and pump are mounted together. You don't need much extra hose because the you only have to run two lines.
Ohh ok, well now you know.
