Hi. Im trying to make an entirely fanless water cooled system, but I've never messed around with a water cooling kit. I understand the basic concept, i just have no experience with them personally. Can anyone tell me everything I would need and a basic overview of how it all works. Im sure I can figure out how to put it all together, I just need to know what you need to get started. And I want to put as much of the kit inside the case as possible (other than the radiator obviously). Can I fit everything into a midtower case or should i spring for a full tower? And, like I said, I'd like it to be COMPLETELY fanless (other than the PSU), if thats possible.

Have a look here:
You won't be able to put it in your case but it gives you some insight into fanless water cooling

You will not be able to implement a totally fanless setup. The circuitry on your motherboard still needs cooling. If one of the capacitors blew right next to your processor because there was no crosswind to draw heat away, you could be looking at several hundreds of dollars to fix it. ALWAYS have at least one exhaust fan and it is a good idea to have a front side case fan as well, but it is not as important. Read up on some watercooling guides before doing anything.
