Default my first h20 cooled cpu

I just finished my first water cooled cpu. O.K.,the goods. Soyo k7vta pro, AMD 1.333,640 mb sdram, 40 gig hd, 56x cd, nothin special(its my first computer that i have ever built). Now on to the cooling. I got a Gemini waterblock, 120 mm radiator, and artic silver all from case-mod.com. The resevoir is a 2.5 cup tupperware dish, the pump i purchased at Lowes, this is a Little Giant 120 gph. Its a very small pump(it fits easily inside of the tupperware). The radiator is mounted in the botom, front of my case, with two 120 mm fans which are mounted in a push, pull fashion(pulling cool air from outside of case). I also mounted the psu on the outside of the case, and put an 80 mm blowhole on the top of the case to reduce heat. What are the temps? The cpu 34, sys 26. Not to bad but i wanted them lower. So i extended the hoses and put the resevoir outside of the case. (my case is extremely small, it came with the mb) I figured the water was absorbing some of the heat from the case. When i moved the resevoir outside it dropped the temps to cpu 32, sys 24. I forgot to mention the cpu is unlocked and running at 1.532. I tried raising the fsb up but my mb doesnt like it. My room temp is around 70f, i would still like lower temps, does any one have any ideas?

Push pulls yeild very little. you'd be better off IMO using one of the 120mm's as a blowhole fan to get the case/rad~in air moving. what size tube/barbs you using?. if your case is too cramped get another with abit more room . whats 70F in DegC?...
