New Project, New Member, Suggestions Welcome!

First off I want to say I am relatively new to Water Cooling and Case Modding. However, I've caught the bug and can't wait to get started on my latest project.

Here's the plan, please advise me of caveats ahead of time if you see them.

I have my eyes on a Gemini CPU Waterblock and a Gemini Chipset Waterblock. I have read a couple of very nice reviews on the Gemini products, and I have to admit they look slick. Now to hook them together I plan on getting a nice length of silicon tubing.

Now my pump of choice is the Ehiem 1048, I can grab one at Pet SuperMarket this weekend.

Now the big question, I like the Black Ice 80mm radiator, I've only got a mid tower to work with so I need to maximize my space. Is this going to be too little heat radiation? Should I hold off on the Chipset Waterblock?

Also, the hardware configuration, in case you might need it to make a recommendation. I plan on purchasing a MSI KT333-AUR Motherboard, a AMD Athlon XP 2000, and some nice DDR ram.

Overclocking? Yes, it's on the project plan...


So, any suggestions?
