Water cooling graphics

Hi All,
I'm investigating watercooling my GTX260, the fan is just too noisy when the card is loaded. I'm not necessarily W/Cing the rest of the system as its all in a NSK3480 so not much radiator space...
SysSpec in sig.
I have already modded the 3480 to have two 120mm intake fans.
I thought of replacing the exhaust fan with a radiator+fan. Then there is the issue of a full cover block for the GTX and where to put the pump.
Also thought of fitting a 240x120 radiator at the front and changing air-path to back->front. The front is already fairly obstructive with the front panel only having side vents...
Any input would be appreciated...
Thanks.
