This moght give youa place to start. Water-Cooling Systems Roundup: 16 Systems Reviewed! - X-bit labs And not suggesting your a begginner but A Beginner's Guide For WaterCooling Your PC : Introduction Hope this will help. Here is just a google search for watercooling kits. Fabe water cooling kits - Google Product Search I actually sold the unit posted on the bay for 36.48 surprised.
I use this:
Thermaltakeusa*»*Thermaltakeusa*»*BigWater 760is : BigWater 760is CL-W0121
I have more than pleased with my system. I went to this solution when I started running dual video cards and overclocking my Q6600. Currently with stock settings I average about 42C-45C. Pushing my system with overclock to 3.0ghz and Crysis I average about 55C.
Good luck with your quest.....it IS worth it.
Thank you Fabe, good links.
Bobtran, I saw that and really didn't like that particular model. I can be picky sometimes, and I know EXACTLY how I want my system set up. I just have to hope that the parts exist to do so. So far, it seems that they do, except for a GPU block. Seems the 260 is not a popular water cooled part?

Look around the site and you will find many other models that might fit your needs better including water cooled cases, external radiator, etc...I was just telling you what I found to work for me....I am please with the product line, not recommending that exact model for you.
Waterblock for 260 here: Koolance GeForce GTX 280/260 Waterblock
I saw that one, but for that price, I will pass on a GPU block for now.
Maybe later.
So far, here is what I have picked out:
Pump: Koolance PMP-450 $100
Radiator: Koolance 2x120mm, Copper (High Flow) - $60 (2 APEVIA CF12SL-UBL 120mm Blue LED Case Fans at $8 ea)Reservoir: Danger Den Bay Reservoir (1 bay) - $35
Fittings: Koolance Compression Fitting Nozzles (ID: 13mm OD: 16mm) (cost added)
Tubing: Koolance Green UV PVC (ID: 13mm OD: 16mm) - $1.80 per foot
Tube Wrap: Maybe Later
Total comes to around $235...
