I've finally got the cash for a water cooling system and a new case. I've been looking at the Antec P180, ThemalTake Armour, various Lian-Li's (not midi's) and the Coolermaster Stacker (mk1) but I am open to suggestions. Looking at around £100 or thereabouts, especially if there is anywhere that currently has a decent price on any of the above.

My shopping list of watercooling kit looks something like this:

CPU Block
AquaXtreme MP-05 PRO Limited Edition CPU Water Block (delrin) @ £38.99

GPU Block
Aqua Extreme MP-01

Radiator
Thermochill PA 120.2 Radiator @ £51

Radiator Fans
x2 Yate Loon D12SL-12 @ £4.49 each approx

Pump
AquaXtreme 50Z-DC12-T Inline Pump 1/2"NPT inlet and outlet (Blue) @ £54.99

Tubing
1/2" ID Tygon Tubing @ £2.60 per foot

I'd like something roomy as I plan on adding another Raptor to run in Raid 0 and probably a large 400GB HD around the time I get a new PSU. I'd also like something that is going to be relatively quiet.

Also, I'm unsure as to where the radiator is going to go so if there any are cases particuarly well suited to that radiator then any advice would be greatly appreciated :D

Put the rad verticaly in 5.25" place.
IMO Stacker is best case for good setup and water cooling. It`ll fit`em all w/o probs

I have a Storm waterblock, same pump, and a BIP 3 and they all fit comfortably inside my original CM Stacker. Great ventilation and tons of space.

I take it your all referring to the old Stacker http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/CMStacker_810.jpg

I'm struggling to find anywhere in the UK that has them in stock if anyone has any suggestions.

Also, if Serra could post some pictures of his then that would be great :D
