    It is pretty straight forward, you first install your pump and then a resevoir generally in an unused 5 1/4 drive bay. Then you need to measure the length of tubing that you will need to interconnect all of your devices and cut the tubing into the appropriate lengths and then firmly attach it to all of the devices' attachments. A leak is obviously, a very bad thing, so make sure all of your tubing is quite firmly in place. Then you run the system for a bit, if the cooling liquid becomes bubbly, you have a leak somewhere and need to tightup up the seals on the tubing, it should be clear and smooth looking when working properly.

    The kit should come with detailed instructions, probably better than I can give you by memory.

    With the advent of multi-core processors and faster memory, you don't really need to go into a cooling solution unless you plan on overclocking, and in truth, it's best not to overclock at all. If you want a fast system, just get a good motherboard, fast memory, multi-core processor in the 3GHz range, and 7200RPM or 10,000RPM SATA hard drive, keeping in mind that the faster the RPM, the hotter the drive gets, and the less it lasts. I'd personally go with a 7200RPM because there are really good drives out there that have 5-year warranties, meanwhile 10,000RPM drives only come with a 1-year, so unless you feel like losing your data and buying a new drive every year, stick with 7200RPM. SATA3 just came out recently, so you can find it on some new motherboards and there are already drives that support it. With all that, you will have no need to overclock because the system will be fast enough as it is. And, why tempt fate? If the cooling system fails or you overclock too high, you could burn out your processor or have system stability issues because the hardware will be clocked out of range. You overclock the processor, and automatically that overclocks the memory, and memory usually doesn't like that very much.

    Its simple friend. Its all about your cabinet design. There're separate cabins are available for your needs. Otherwise, fix one more fan or increase its speed by hardware doctor.
