In it's simplest form, just like the cooling system on your car. I prefer closed loop systems because they are such low maintenance.
You need a pump, a radiator, and a waterblock to attach to the CPU. Add some tubing and hose clamps and you're ready to rock and roll! The pump forces water through the system, the waterblock removes heat from the CPU and transfers it to the water, and the radiator transfers heat from the water to the ambient air.
I must say one thing, though. Watercooling is not necessarily for everyone. Here are the only 4 reasons I can see for wanting to watercool a PC.
1. Your PC is heavily overclocked and it needs it (My case.)
2. Your PC is too loud and you want it quieter. (My previous case)
3. You love to tinker with stuff, so why not tinker with the 'puter (also me...)
4. You just want to brag to your friends. (not me, I keep it secret.)
Good luck and keep the questions coming (c'mon, try to stump me!)
If you're really interested in this, PM or email me. I'll walk you through the whole process.
