probably the simplest/best water cooling unit would be a Reserator. it's made by Thermaltake.

I thought Zalman made the reserator. Also the coolermaster aquagate mini is a real simple water cooling solution. No bleeding lines, less parts to mess with. Comes pre filled with crimp style clamps that wont leak. I was gonna buy one but got a Silverstone heatpipe cooler w/o fans. Dont get much quieter than that. 50c @ full load (folding@home 24/7). As long as you have a couple case fans a heatpipe cooler is much simpler and usually cheaper.
