If you haven't already, read the watercooling sticky here

No, you don't need a new case, as most watercooling systems can be fit into most mid- or full tower cases.

If you're looking at getting a kit, that is probably the easiest way out. DIY, while requiring more time and effort, normally puts out better performance for the price than most kits do.

The main thing you need to decide now is whether to get a kit, or buy the components and put it together yourself.
 
just get a decent set of parts from dangerden, d-tek, of swiftech, or a bit form each and get an antec P-160. Minimal modding needed to get everything to fit....actually all you need is a drill, a couple of bits, and possibly a dremel with cut off disc (that is if your radiator isn't clearing the top hdd cage). The modding done to that case is extremely trivial to fit a good setup in there.

The koolance kit is good if you merely want something that runs quiet. Now if you want near silence or to overclock, you may want to consider designing your own watercooling setup. do a few searches to get the gist of the theories behind it, and make sure to do some yahoo searches as well.
 
If you've got the cash, get the reserator kit. a buddy of mine has one, and it freaking owns. Looks cool, performs well...
 
If money is no object, consider one of the H20 Cases here: www.voyeurmods.com

They offer nice cases, and configure them with the parts you want, plus they do all of the modding for you. They put it together and then ship it out, all you need to do is add the computer and liquid, then get rid of the air.
 
i like how people post there DVD rom specs on here. And mother board specs, fan specs, fan control dial specs, and etc...do you want to water cool those too? and lol 3.2 @ 3.218....lmao, im not trying to be mean, but you need to read around this forum first. Tones of info if you've never done this before. I saw somehwere that a company makes a custom Windows XP watercooling block too.
