you can look for watercooling "kits" but I hear they don't do much better than higher-end air-coolers
I know nothing about watercooling but you might want to google some how to pages, maybe make your own

^Agreed^
You will only get a degree or 2 less with WC and for the price I don't think it is worth it although it does look pretty cool
I think WC is more for people that live in more humid environment

I am an overclocker and have quite alot of knowledge in this field, watercooling looks good that is about it, kits are no better than a good HSF, if you are going to do it you will have to build your own and that will cost a couple of 100pounds
