I realize I spelled Compilation wrong in the title
A couple of people were asking in my other p180 thread for some links to watercooled p180s. After going out and searching I've managed to come up with a small list, I will look for some more and update the list with my findings.
So I've just ordered a black P180 case that's going to be watercooled with a Swiftech Apex kit. I've read a bunch of discussions and worklogs and I'm looking forward too this because I think it's the perfect case for the job. The already excellent air cooling makes it prime watercooling. It's comes with three 120mm fans with 3 speeds (5v, 7v, 12v) so they can be turned down low for ultimate silence.
People say that watercooling the P180 is a challenge, but from the pictures I've seen it looks pretty darn easy. That statement is also realative to the type of watercooling setup you have of course. However for the Swiftech Apex users, it seems that the case is set up for us already.
In the upper drive bay area, there are three holes that line up perfectly with the holes in the apex ultras reservoir. The pump can go where the upper HDD cage is, and the radiator bolts directly onto the back. All you have to do is drill two holes in the back for the rad and run the tubing.

Enjoy.
P.S. I know this is somewhat centered around the swiftech apex system, but it's what I'm using... Besides, beggars can't be choosers
edit-- updated the list
