hello, i have the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-183-LL&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=187 and i am looking to put water cooling into the case, i am going to remove the HDD rack and put a 240 rad there and then put a 240 rad in the top as well, i was just wondering what other parts i would need. I know the obv parts like cpu bracket and gpu bracket, am just alittle confused on the pump connections and tubing

Good luck with that. I have a PC-P50 and it's the same case but with a different front. I don't think you are going to get a rad in the roof as there is only 20mm between the bottom of the fans and the top edge of the motherboard. Front rad will not fit the spacing of the front case fans either. It really is'nt a very good case for watercooling.

We would need to know your full pc spec before recommending any parts as well.

even with stealth rads ? and i will be getting a 480 and a 2500k

I would actually suggest getting a bigger case before getting into internal Watercooling solutions. The Corsair 700D is the same size as the 800D as far as I'm aware and is perfect for WC'ing.

All the stealth rads i looked at are still 29mm thick. There's only 20mm between the bottom of the fans and the top edge of the mobo. As for a front rad, no chance with the fan spacing in your case.

If you are wondering how i did it, my pump, res and rad are all external. I find the case too cramped for a normal build let alone sticking a pump, res and rads in there.

You could always do a 120.1 rad on the back fan and a 120.3 rad at the front?

There would be no drive bays at all then.
