No doubt you've thought of all this but just in case, heres a couple of tips I've picked up from the web etc.

Set the system up outside of your PC first, and run it for an hour or two with kitchen roll wrapped around all the joins. If there are any leaks the kitchen roll will make them easier to spot.
Now run the system inside your PC case, but take out all the electronics, again with the kitchen paper on the joins.
Next, install all components, and connect up the kit, and run it, with the kitchen paper, but without connecting the power lead, so if it starts leaking at this point, your components shouldn't fry. If it does leak, leave the components to dry naturally, then try again.
Finally, once your happy, fire up the PC and the kit, and away you go.

One other tip. If the pump dosent wire to the PC's PSU, don't forget to turn it on when you start the PC
