    I was going to use en EK bridge and have them in parallel but EK does not make a clear 4-way bridge yet so instead I will do series.

    I haven't been keeping up on the newest watercooling things. That rigid tubing would have saved me a bunch of trouble in the past.

    How secure are they DB? A lot of guys in the acrylic tube thread on OCN are complaining that the fitting does very little to grip the pipe.

    Excellent idea, It's been interesting watching you work with that tubing. It's coming in handy and I'll be making a jig just like that, I was wondering how I was going to get the tubes lined up accurately.

    Hard tubing looks terrible when not lined up with each other.
