Hey guys I have been reading more and more into water cooling and am ready to go purchase a water cooling system for my GEN 5... any ideas on what kit would be best suited for my system?? keep in mind I also want to cool my x850 xt PE in the process... I do know that water cooling Dell pcs is a big job due to the fact that the CPU block needs to be modified...... any help would be greatly appreciated and oh ya any suggestions on ram?? I currently have 1 GB and want to go to 2 GB but I have read that 4 512MB chips is the faster way to go??? thanks for any help

3.4 Ghz P4 X850XTPE 1 GB 533 Ram twin 10k Raptor HD audigy 2

If the 460w PSU was NOT UNDERNEATH the computer, I would be more interested in water cooling.

Just a thought...
I haven't measured it, but I suspect that my aftermarket motherboard mod leaves enough room in the top rear of the case for an aftermarket PSU. If you did that, it might be possible to gut the old PSU (under the PC), and convert that into a place for all the water cooling equipment.
