I have wondered about this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CWCH50-1-Water-Cooler/dp/B002QG2H7K
which seems to get rave reviews. But when it came to it recently, putting together some new systems for us at home, I just got silverstone sff cases, i3 processors, extra large fans, and slowed them down with those little resistor packs you can get from silentpc.
Not silent, but quiet enough, and absolutely no problem with heat.
I do still wonder from time to time about the corsair....

If you're looking to build something to help overclocking the inexpensive kits are generally worse than high end air-cooling.
I agree...
The watercooling kit should be open
not closed / sealed unit because it should allow me to put the distilled water.
Unless I have miss-understand, this is a bad idea. In the event of a leak you want to be using non-conductive coolant liquid. $friend had water cooling, it sprung a leak 'thankfully' over only one part, one of this graphics cards, which after being drained and dried still worked.
Distilled water *is* virtually non-conductive. It's only the salts and impurities in tap water (and/or river water etc.) that make it moderately conductive.
