you might get more response in the wc section. I personally think the p180 has great potential for WC. check out performance-pcs's wc'd cases for some ideas

if you plan on a high oc...then ya. H20 is good for the $$$. Some things to think about are->
w/c'ng both cpu and gpu? silence vs performance...which do you care about most? expandablility.<- make sure your h20 'kit' is easily upgradable. case modding..are down? Being that its a smaller case, go external with the rad for most room and best temps. Keeping the fans between the rad and the case will 'quiet' things down as much as possible. Swiftech and DangerDen have about the best starter kits available.

im most likely going to be going dangerden. i doubt im gonna WC my gpu's, i really dont need it. these things are OC'd as far as i can get them, and they still only max out at 55C. the cpu is the main problem. im getting just under 50C full load.

watercooling a p180b can become a bit tricky if you have a bunch of crap in it already (like mine 4 HDDs, 6 fans, 2 dvd drives, 2 video cards)
Id say try to put the pump in the 5.25 drive bays, unless you plan on using a 5.25 res (Id use a t-line and fillport) then mount the rad on top of the case, route the lines through the top fan hole probably (dremel it out completely) and maybe do a bit of leak-proofing so nothing can ever drip onto the video cards or into the lower chamber, id also keep all HDDs in the lower trays to be safe. That way all you have to worry about is any floppy/disc drives you may have, and your RAM.
