Going to WC a Shuttle. Need advice for good low profile LGA775 WB with 1/4" fittings

Okay, my first watercooling project is going to be a Shuttle using the Radiator/Fan from a ThermalTake Tidewater which is already be mod'd for the job. Now, by using this radiator I am going to be forced to use a waterblock with 1/4" fittings which I know is going to make things difficult.

Any rec's?
 
The "rad" is copper right in the Tidewater? Also, what CPU are you cooling...the Tidewater doesn't look like it has a lot of cooling potential.
 
Yes the rad is all copper. TT rates the TideWater as being able to disipate 125w of heat and it will be used on a Q6600 with a TDP of 105w.
 
Would pref something low profile as part of the reason for this will be to reduce the crampedness. Shuttles are already cramped for space as-is so I'd like this setup to take up minimal space.

oh man... if thats the one with the round tubes, then i wouldnt hold your breath.

Also TT rads are absolutely horrible.

what is your total budget in a project like this?

And which shuttle case are we talking about?

Right now im gonna say a H5O might be your best option, with a creative way of mounting the radiator.
