Friend of mine just upgraded his DFI SLI-DR w/ 3500+ system to a P5K Deluxe w/ a Q6600 and plans to water cool it with the Zalman Reserator 1 v2. The case is a Lian Li PC-V800B and as you can see, its a small cramped case. Our questions are as follows, with the CPU and GPU cooled via water, what else should we be worried about creating ambient hot air in the case? Should we get a small fan to put on the NB? What about the power supply?

The case sits in a cabinet in a desk, and it would be nice to be able to close the cabinet for complete silence. Obviously the reserator will be sitting outside the cabinet. Any thoughts?
 
long as you've got a couple of fans in the case you'll be alright... the idea to put a small fan on the northbridge is smart because they get roasting.. so do the mosfet areas.. long as you've got a bit of airflow around those areas you'll be good to go..
