Default Need some help planning

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have been looking and researching a lot about watercooling. I am hoping to watercool my pc in the near future and need a little help planning out the specifics. I'm hoping to do as little modding as possible to my Antec 1200 as I don't feel secure cutting holes into it. I have a budget of around 200-300 dollars, but going a little over is fine. I want to cool a quad core overclocked and nothing else. A little overkill is nice if possible within the budget.

Is there any way to incorporate the use of the pre-installed Antec Tricool fans or the fan controller? I don't wanna let the fan controller go to waste.

Any suggestions on rad/pump/res placement is appreciated. I can take some pictures of my setup currently if that helps at all.

Well I'm a cheap bastard, so this is what I would get:

Radiator: MCR320-QP
CPU Block: D-Tek Fuzion V2 or Swiftech Apogee GTZ
Pump: Swiftech MCP655
Tubing: 1/2" tubing (1/2" ID 34" OD)
Water Additive: Swiftech HydrX

Use a T-line instead of a reservoir. The Tricools should do nicely with the above radiator. If you can't fit the 320 inside your case, the smaller MCR220 should still be able to cool an overclocked quad.
