    TBH it probably doesn't matter, I prefer the look of 1/2 - 3/4" tubing, so thats why I use it :)

    Either is fine, tubing size really comes down to personal preference nowadays; just make sure you get the same size fittings for everything, and be especially careful if they're compression fittings. I prefer 3/8" 5/8" because it's easier to route than 1/2" 3/4" and not as easily kinked as 3/8" 1/2".

    Yeh, 1/2-3/4" (urg, inches, we should really be saying 13-19mm) only really works in a big case :)

    the rad will be going in a cm690 II at the bottom with the outlets faceing away from the psu outlets faceing the front of the case...
