    Watercooling an Antec Mini P180

    Hi all, first post here.

    I am interested in watercooling my system housed in an Antec Mini P180. I am using an Asus Rampage II GENE motherboard with an Intel Core i7 920. My graphics cards are 2x EVGA GTX 275 cards. I think I want to watercool the graphics cards and CPU for sure, and maybe the chipset as well.

    My goal is to do this using 3 seperate 120mm radiators as I do not have any intention of hacking up the case (want to be able to revert it to original condition if need be).

    My main questions are:
    What is a good pump to use?
    What would your recommendations for layout be?
    What radiators would be recommended?
    What is a good waterblock for the chipset?
    What is a good waterblock for the graphics cards?
    What is a good waterblock for the CPU?

    I have never done watercooling before so please forgive any ignorance I may display. I know a reservoir should be used but do not know much more than that (I think it should be at a high point in the system to allow bubbles to leave the coolant?)

    Here is what I have found so far:
    Radiators
    Pump
    CPU Block
    GPU Blocks

    I also have roughed up an idea of what I thought would work:
    The blue box is my reservoir.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!



    Very late update, but here is the completed monster! Getting the 2 5870s in there after the rads was quite a challenge haha
