I have never water cooled before, however I am picking up two of these. for occasional gaming, but for the most part crunching for seti and other stuff. I need a hardware list, the bad boys pump out the heat I hear.
 
Make sure you have room for the 120 x 4 radiator. Its around 22 inches. Pretty much the length of a full tower.
 
Each card generates 300 watts, most is the chip and Vregs. Lots of heat, FC blocks will pull 90% of that heat and it needs cooled.

So you need lots of raddage. Your DT temps should stay under 15C, and thats pretty high, shoot for 10C DT and you'll have a setup that uses lower speed fans and will keep the cards as cool as they need to be.
