They are copper the same kind of fittings you find in the walls of your house for hot and cold water.

Really needed them to keep it clean as i would have other wise needed at least 2 plastic fittings to help make and join the tubing otherwise; 1 "T" at the cpu block ( it has 1 inlet 2 outlets) and 1 90 degre fitting at the 2nd gpu block to make the bend to connect to the fill port and pump (going out the top hole on the Full Cover block). Even with the fittings a few bends might be a challenge for tygon tubing but have never owned the stuff so cant back that up.

Nice man. When i upgrade to i7 and move to water I'm going to be taking a lot of ideas from this build, the copper fittings included

Well at least i inspired 1 person on my build.

Originally got the idea for the a radiator in the front of the case from a guy who posted his WC rig in the rocketfish club topic. Let me see if i can find his picture as it is buried somewhere in the 100 pages


EDIT: found the inspiration for me and my radiator placement
