    Cymae I live in South Australia and I know how hard our summer temps can be on your computer. I am water cooling and received most of my parts from a Queensland based specialty shop called Chilled PC (www.chilledpc.com.au). They have everything from individual parts to well priced kits ($300+). Or if you didn't want an extreme solution check out PC Case Gear (www.pccasegear.com.au), they are also Australian and are situated in Victoria.
    From the complete kits PC Case Gear have I would recommend (Listed first preference to last):
    1. Swiftech H20-120 Compact Liquid Cooling Kit (http://www.pccasegear.com/prod5598.htm) - $199.00
    2. Gigabyte 3D Galaxy II Liquid Cooling Kit (http://www.pccasegear.com/prod4656.htm) - $239.00
    3. Thermaltake Silent Water Cooling System (http://www.pccasegear.com/prod4234.htm) - $169.00
    4. CoolerMaster Aquagate Mini R120 (http://www.pccasegear.com/prod2362.htm) - $128.00
    These four systems are CPU only but the Galaxy has upgrades for VGA cards and you shouldn't have a problem adding a VGA block to the Swiftech kit. You could always use any of these kits for your CPU and just get a good Zalman VGA cooler for your graphics card. The next step up from these systems are the Zalman Reserators, Thermaltake Bigwaters or any of the kits from Chilled PC.

    Water cooling can get quite expensive though, I have bought components from both of these stores and my water cooling kit comes to around $650-$700

    Hope this helps you in some way.

    Thanks for those links. Very helpful

    I'm going to try to organise the software fan controller for my pc aswell, and I'll consider water cooling. Been looking at that air-conditioning thing for it aswell. I just want to make sure i don't have moisture in my PC, because with water cooling, it either won't be cold enough for me or slight condensation might occur, which is a bad thing inside my rig :S
