It can be, it depends largely on how you do it.

For instance, I opted for a performance based soltion and mounted the Pump, Rez, and Rad to my desk and just run the tubing and blocks into the case. That means I am sorta tied down and have to switch to a HSF to transport the system.

There are some pretty small solutions out there now, Pumps and Radiators are the toughest items to get inside a case. On a big case, NP, but I also have a Shuttle case and haven't found a decent way to do it internal on that yet.

A second issue is makeing sure everything is bolted down inside, zip-ties can be used, but if your going to transport it alot, I would go with bolts.

There is also the weight issue, a water cooling setup will add a few pounds and make your rig noticably heavier.
