I bought a Koolance PC3-725 case and am now in search of a water block. What kind of blocks can I use? The ID is 3/8'' and i think the rad is alum if that matters. I'm under the impression that copper and alum don't mix well? This is for a socket 939 chip/motherboard.

The Swiftech MCW6000 is a nice block for low flows, it is pretty cheap too, usually around 35$.
If you use a good corrosion inhibitor you *shouldn't* have any problems, but you still might want to keep an eye on it. If you are really worried about corrosion the Koolance blocks are gold plated, but are expensive like none other.

I had one of those cases and sent it back for a refund. It didn't work at all, either the pump wasn't working properly or the control board wasn't functioning right. I sent it back and decided to build my own setup. 1/2" ID tubing, swiftech storm cpu block, Danger Den NV-78 video, Laing pump (D5/swiftech), 5 1/4 bay res, and Black ice x-flow extreme rad thrown in a Gigabyte case. I haven't had time to assemble the water cooling as of yet but I'm sure I'll be happy with it.
I'm a little Biased since i had the case and it didn't work. The case had nice features and a good design but didn't work so i sent it back. If you are looking for a cpu block I have the Koolance 3/8 cpu block w/ athlon64 adapter I'd be willing to let you take off my hands.
