    I’ve got everything I need for my new liquid cooling except the tubing!!! I was looking at this tubing http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/product.php?productid=3417&cat=570&page=1
    But it’s not in stock anywhere!! Is there any that’s just as good and in stock with the same dimensions?

    PS i also need the heatsinks for my 8800GTX....

    The R-3603 tubing is what I'm using for my current project. Regarding the GFX sinks; you might consider going with a full-cover block such as the one by EK-waterblocks (only 2x as much as just the RAMsinks) and selling your current GFX block.

    I'd say you'll probably need around 7-10 feet; depending on how you route the tubing

    Its allways better to get more tubing than you'll need. You're sure to make a wrong cut and loose a few feet or so...

    Try an aquatics shop for tubing. Will be MUCH cheaper and just as good. Infact i expect it's exactly the same stuff anyway.

    the cheap tubing from aquatics or hardware stores is generally PVC based and tends to cloud up/stain a lot quicker than Tygon does.

    Try Over-Clock UK ltd.

    They have a good range of tubing & heat sinks.

    (And no, i dont work for them!!)

    edit - yes, CoolerCases are good as well. Plus I uses ClearFlex in my rig & have found it to be as good as Tygon.

    Another vote for Overclockers Ltd here (not to be confused with Overclockers UK who are shockingly poor), they are simply brilliant for watercooling stuff, and anything else for that matter. :thumb:
