You only need to insulate to prevent condensation when using a peltier device. I wouldn't reccommend using one your first time around. You can always add one later.

Once everything is in the case, you'll want to turn on the pump BEFORE you turn on the PC.

You'll never need to refill it if it is sealed. If it isn't perfectly sealed, evaporation may happen slowly over time. In that case, you'd have to top of the water every now and then.
