Oh yes! you definitely can buy online, and you can make your own too.

The first place you should look is on the home page here, read the monthly winners' essays because quite a few deal with water cooling.

Also check out the beginner guides and tips sections on watercooling.

Don't forget to lurk awhile here at the cooling forum to absorb a tremendous amount of helpful data, and then of course check out hardware review sites like Tom's for more tips.

Offhand the first place that comes to mind for buying watercooling systems and/or components is here at Swiftech's homepage (http://www.swiftnets.com/)

Best of luck, and don't forget to do your homework. You'll find folks around here are very helpful to those who help themselves!:)

If you don't mind my saying- build your own. Granted it takes more time, and you'll probably squirt more water all over yourself, but its the right thing to do.

My rig is butt-ugly, but I love it like a son. And I mess with it constantly.

If you have any inclination (and some free time) do it yourself. You'll learn a lot!

Good luck.

you can build your own and maybe save a couple of $$$ or you can just buy a kit, that way you dont have to worry on what are you missing or what else do you need ;)
Two of the best watercool system out there are DangerDen and Becooling (Aquastealth) here are 2 links:

I wouldn’t suggest building a waterblock and or really doing things yourself first time. People who make custom made waterblocks and radiators know what they are doing and have been here a long time and don't just think that if you make your own it will automatically turn out better than the pre-made ones, there are some really nice water kits you should start with just to get the feel for it first, then you can work towards customizing the your own parts.

The hard way isn’t always best, in fact, many times you’ll find that the old fashion designs work best for many things in this area, like the SK6 for example, simple plain waterblock made of simple copper with lots of fins, nothing more, no sharp looking beast but works like a king compared to the orbs and other funky looking ones.
