as the title implies, I'm looking for recommendations from those with experience in this sort of thing. I'm still entertaining the idea of Liquid Cooling, and I want to know where to start if I go that route.

My case is a Cooler Master CM Stacker 810. It's big, and has plenty of room for tubing and other components. It also has a spare PSU bay on the bottom, which I think would be an ideal place to put an internal liquid cooling system. Anything that would fit in that space would be great.

What I'm looking for...

1. Reliability - I can't afford to replace anything because my cooling system springs a leak.
2. Performance - I plan some serious overclocking, and the cooler it can keep my components, the better.
3. Expandability - I want something that can be used to cool the CPU, GPU, Northbridge, and up to 4 HDs, in addition to a second GPU if I add one later on.
4. Value - I have a fairly big budget for it at the moment, but I still want to keep it under $300 if I can. I'm looking at price/performance rather than total price, mostly.

Are there any reliable brands or models I should be looking at right away?
 
Most likely...because people who have a GTX, usually have a full tower case.
 
I've got a full tower case. I don't know how people do it, because there's no way it would've fit it my case without fragging some hardware.
Then again, my case seems to have a lot of wasted space, and it's designed to route the tubes outside of the case. That's how I've got it right now. It works fine, but a bit cumbersome to move to the counter when I want to work on it.
 
Forgot to mention LGA775, MSI P6N 8800GTS and all that jazz, but anyway, looks a great place to start! I'll get back to you on that once I get the rest of my system assembled.
 
Here's a question... do you know of anyone who makes water blocks for the P6N Northbridge nForce 650i?
