I'm water cooling in my P180, but I went the external route because there's not enough room for what I wanted in a P180. Here's a pic:

It's actually incredibly neat. All I do is click a button in the back and the computer can be transported alone. Did you mean compact? If so, watercooling inside of a P180 is kind of hard... You could cut the little median in between the bottom and the top of the case. Then take out the secondary hard drive slider thing. Put your pump down there, and use a bay reservoir.

You could mount a 120mm rad on that rear 120mm fan hole and that would probably work nicely. Other than that having it clean is really a matter of routing your tubing.

It is a really tight case without water cooling so I could not imagine shoe horning that in here to. Wow good luck.
