Just installed water cooling for the CPU. Temp has dropped by approx 7 Degrees C, but main improvement is in the noise. All I can hear now is my hard drive & psu fan.

Nice Setup Mr Footlong! Yep I bought it as a complete kit. It is called the Poseiden but I have also seen it called the iceberg kit. It is only an entry level kit and costs about £95 which sounds good value to me. The waterblock is Aluminium as opposed to copper so I may upgrade that when I get a faster cpu. Any recommendations?

If you are not overclocking, then the alu waterblock should be good enough, after that, I would be worried that the waterblock and more importantly that standard radiator would not cut the mustard.
There are so many options that I wouldn't know where to start with you tbh........
Is the fan on the radiator charging air in or out? Ideally, you should be running negative air pressure, where technically there is more air being pushed out of the case than into.

The radiator fan is drawing air out of the case. I know what you mean about the rad. It is only small and is designed to work with an 80mm fan which is what appealed to me TBH as all other ones I looked at used 120mm & would have involved some case cutting which I want to avoid.
