Hi. I'm looking for a water cooling kit for my dual opteron rig. I have a couple of specific needs meaning I haven't been able to find a kit that meets all of them.

1. This is not for overclocking, just for noise reduction, so I'm willing to trade some power, I just need it as quiet as possible.

2. All components must be inside the case

3. I'd prefer a gpu cooler too, but I have a Parhelia. Most options seem to be for ATI/Nvidia

4. Power must be taken direct from the PSU. This is because I move between Japan and the UK, so can't have a 110v/220v dependent piece of kit.

I know very little about this, so need to put together a COMPLETE shopping list before I start out.

The Chillblast kit looks ok, but with 2 processors I'm not sure I wouldn't need 2 fans, and it comes with a 220v power supply.

What would I need to change to get a kit which suits me?

Thanks for any help you can offer!
