Being in a money crunch, I've came to the conclusion I can do without my Shuttle I just bought two weeks ago and my P4m 1.8, and have decided to pull together a few parts to build my desktop PC. I'll be using a P4 1.6a and a Asus P4B533-VM, along with some OCZ PC3500. Now I just got this case from my friend at work, and old HP case and I just fell in love with it. It is mATX and small, just what I wanted. Only problem is that the CD drive is too long and will hit the P4 heatsink because they are so large. So I have decided to go with watercooling, because it will solve the CD drive issue (not saying other space issues won't come up), but also because it will run much quieter and even a chance for a little OCing. I don't have any knowledge of watercooling, so I am looking to you guys to help me out. What waterblock should I get? I will probably need to go with a smaller pump and radiator than most people would have, will that hinder performance? I will gladly accept any ideas, comments, etc. Just let me have it. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Pardon the grammar in the title.

Thanks, that radiator looks like it would do the job.

Do I need to be pushing a mininum of gph through the pump, or would any do? I'm guessing the higher the number, the better because the faster it is pushing water through the system?

What waterblock should I get for the system? I saw that SVC has the Swiftech MCW462-UH for $49.99, is this a good waterblock, or a piece of crap?

Any info would be helpful!
