"Low Profile" Watercooling?

I was thinking about making the jump into watercooling and was considering the Corsair Nautilas 500. But I have cats and I am afraid they will knock the unit off the tower or poke a hole in the tubing.
I been looking at Dangerden.com and Swiftnets.com and there watercooling kits are awsome, but in my opinin they are a eye sore. Putting a Black Ice Extreme 2 Rad and 2 120mm fans inside the case is really scary as far as looks go. I was thinking going with 3/8 inch tubing will help make it look "lower profile" and also the Res/Pump Drive Bay insert the swift has would also make it lower profile. But that huge Rad and fans just scares me.

I remember a while back there was a rad that was alot thinner than the black Ice extreme, it was a dual 120mm rad, does anyone know if it is still available anywhere? I aint going to do any major overclocking if at all, just looking for a quite system with good cooling.
 
Black Ice Pro, it is about as thin as radiators come. 25mm thick, the same as a fan.
 
Ok, did some googleing and found the Rad I was thinking of, it is the Swiftech 676 Dual 120mm Rad. Has anyone any good pics of this Rad, I was wondering how it would fit if placed inside the case on dual 120mm Fans, I cant find any good pics of it anywhere?
 
That is a VERY old radiator, and is only 7mm slimmer than the Black Ice Pro. I really dont think 7mm is worth the performance drop. Your only bet at finding one of those would be used since they were discontinued a long time ago, hell swiftech doesn't even list it in their discontinued products section that is how old it is.
