Watercooling setup for a newbie?

I've been looking into getting into watercooling with my next system, and I've been reading around alot. Everything seems pretty confusing to me, though, and I was wondering if some people could help me out.

Basically I'm looking to get a setup that looks clean and professional - I'm more than likely going to go with a Lian Li case, possibly with a window, not for sure though. I want to keep it clean looking - I've seen some reservoirs that are external, and that connect to the back of the case and they're not much more than clear glass tubes with chrome caps on the top. I like that look a lot. I also like the look of just about all of AquaComputers parts. They're very well done.

What I'm looking for are some pointers to guides and parts that a newbie would be best with. I haven't designed my current system yet, so I don't have a processor/video card yet. I was hoping to plan this all at once. As of right now, the only thing I'm really after is to have an external reservoir and nice clean looking tubes/blocks.
 
Well, if your top priority is a neat and clean appearance, the AquaComputer parts are probably right up your ally. I don't use them myself, but they do look damn nice. I will now step aside and allow Top Nurse to take over :)
 
If you're not quite sure of your set up just yet, maybe start with just watercooling your CPU. You won't have as big a cash expenditure and it'll allow you to "ease" into watercooling. That's what I did...

You can't go wrong with AquaComputer stuff from what I've read. You're going to pay a little more for it, but they make good stuff.
