I'm looking to possible do a liquid cooling system for my computer and am just looking for some suggestions for either specific products or any articles to read in order to help me get started. I have an i7 system with dual graphics cards so I am looking for something that at the least will be able to cool the CPU and both graphics cards.

The temperatures on my motherboard, RAM, and HDDs have been fine with passive cooling so far.

Liquid cooling is really for serious over-clockers and can get seriously costly.

Money's not really a problem. I do some overclocking and would like to do more. It's really just something I want to do so that I know how to do it. Thanks for the articles; I'll look over them tonight.
