Thanks cirvol, I wish you were around back then too.
Actually, it is a common mod to do, what you have to do is find the right water cooling block that attaches to your particular parts (CPU and video card). After that all you need is to remove the regular heatsinks from both (might be tricky on the vcard) and attach them, with a tiny bit of silver heat gel (it really is optional, but a little won't hurt). Attaching the tubing is next, and all you need now is a pump and a resevoir, and a radiator. You can find premade kits at any PC mod site, or you can make your own if you're good with tools.
