    It's not as bad as it looks in the pics. It's 3/8 tubing on a 1/2 inch barb, it's gone a bit flat where it comes off the barb, but not kinked. There's no juice in it yet so it's easy to change it it doesn't want to go back to the right shape.

    Edit: you've got me paranoid now, I'm going to change it.

    Thanks to Nutman making me paranoid.( cheers for that dude..lol) I've pulled out the offending bit of tubing and changed the fitting for a straight one to get a smoother bend....

    Not as easy as it sounds with 3/8 tubing over a 1/2 inch bard when it's in the case. In fact I would say it's easier to put a condom on in the dark when your piss*d!!

    You wanna try p*ss balling about with Bits-Power compression fittings though if you want to reshape your finger tips some, it hurts like a f*cker afterwards I'll tell ya...

    Phew, I can sleep better now. :D

    Sorry about making you paranoid, but the tube might look fine to begin with, but when fluid is added and that fluid becomes hotter, it will heat up the tube and MIGHT provoke the kink to...well, kink? It happened to me once. Everything looked OK to begin with - only had a slightly flat tube, but as soon as it heated up, it kinked pretty quickly.

    Unaligned tubing is preferable to a cooked system.
    Oh, and That's NOT me,:lol: but It's a safe bet I do have that album somewhere.

    I've just been messing about with the camera trying to get a few decent night shots when I suddenly noticed that the red bits on my mobo are UV reactive and turn a lovely orange colour when the light hits them...lol

    Thank you very much dude.

    I've just fitted the GPU loops and I dont think it makes any difference what colour the mobo is any more. There's so much tubing in there right now you can't see it any more. :duh: :hehe::hehe:

    Thanks a lot Bobby

    It very, very close to being finished. I'll give you a shout when it's done. Bring a couple of mates though because it weighs about the same as a small car.:D

    Thanks a lot Alex. The tubings called Masterkleer. It's nice stuff work with. Just thought I'd give it a try instead of all the usual makes and it turns out to be a good move, I'd recommend it mate.

    Thank you very much jamsand, it's almost complete now, I'd say 2 weeks tops and it'll be done.

    Thanks rayson, it Is big, but because of the way its split up in to 3 chambers it all gets quite tight when you start packing hardware into it. There's not actually that much space in each bit.

    When I took the hard drive bays out it looked huge, then when the rads went in all the space just seemed to vanish. The next time I do a big watercooled build it'll have to be a scratch build so I can set it all up exactly how I want it.
