I got the following
Antec 1030b
Abit NF7s-2.0
512 Corsair XMS 3500
Radeon 9700 Pro
barton 2500+
160 gig Maxtor 8 meg Hd
What would be a good water cooling kit for that setup? And also will it fit in the case or will I be building a second enclosure

The only thing with this one from Dtek I don't like is the bayres. They're prone to leakage. Other than that, get a different res and you're all set

Here's the block I have. It's the best one you can buy:

Many people run their setup in the case. I followed LT's lead and went with an external setup. It does lower temps by a few degrees. The pic in my link is a bit dated but it gives you an idea. Since than I got a different res and scaled down to a smaller box. I also swaped out fans with a Delta 120@7V pulling on the rad which is thicker and has better preasure. Idealy I'll go push/pull.
As for what to get I'd reccomend the following:
CPU-- Cascade$100 -or- Dtek WW~$70
Pump-- I use a Danner#3 which you can get local for like $45. They have a higher head preasure than Eheim's which are also good pumps.
Tubing-- Clearflex 60. I got 20" for $22 at DangerDen. It was more than I needed but better safe than sorry.
Radiator-- Dtek Procore combo $55. The 120 Evercool fan they sell there works good. After reading a study done by BillA I went with a Delta.
As for an external box most of us use totes. The best on I've seen was done by this guy Camel. Here's a link to it:

Here's a link to the fan I got for the radiator.

As I said according to the study done by BillA this is the best fan for watercooling. It's best results were in a double shrouded push/pull config @ 7V. I just got another one of these and another shroud from Dtek. I tried to run it at 12v but the noise was fierce. Hope this helps you.
