If this is a LAN system and is meant to be portable, I would rethink water if I were you. Now, I'm no expert as I've never water-cooled before, but it seems like common sense would dictate that water-cooling+moving the rig around a lot= an incredibly high risk of spillage/fried components.

It would only go to events every couple of months. Plus, if I go to the event, I can detach the water cooling system and then put it back in before the event takes place.
