Alright, I'm a newbie to the watercooling realm, but definitely not a newbie to computers. Up until this time I've been using HSFs to cool the systems I built, but am looking to get a decent watercooling rig for my computer and see what kind of speed I can get out of it for something around $100-150. I know it's sort of a small budget, but, like I said, I'm new to watercooling, and I just want to get my feet wet. (No pun intended)

I'm looking for suggestions on what components to get. I'd like to keep the entire system inside my Antec SX1030B case, but if not, it's no big deal. In fact I could probably run the pump and radiator from some sort of modded old case sitting on top of my case, and just run the lines in through a hold in the Antec to the water block.

So far I've been looking at the following:
Water Block: Danger Den Maze 2
Pump: Eheim 1046
Radiator: Danger Den Cooling Cube
Tubing: any type I can get at the local Petsmart/hardware store/marine supply store...

I'm really open to suggestions, especially if there are components have close to the same performance, and are less $.
