1/2"ID is what you want...1/2" x 3/4" to be exact...the brand wont matter much tell you try to bend a tight bend between your blocks. when you shop for it test it out to see how easy it is to bend or order some stuff online from petras or Jab-tek, I am sure you can figure out what to get by the price...get some expensive tubing from a water cooling shop and you will be stoked! Also get yourself some nice clamps.

1\2" or 7\16" is pretty standard right along with 3\8" , but 1\4" not so sure, pretty small

thanks for the replies. i was fairly sure that 1/2 would be good, and that 1/4 seemed very small.

maybe i will just water cool my cpu for now.
frozencpu.com is likely where i'll buy all the stuff by the way. will i need converters for the radiators? or do they just come with 1/2" stuff.

what's the best placement for a standard mid-tower case? i have a hole in the side of my case so i figured i'd run the radiator outside the case and leave the radiator on top of the case. does that make sense or would i be wasting my time?

was thinking either that or i could just mount it in my fan port in the back of my case.

and what did om3n mean when he said i don't need a t fitting if i have a reservoir, is it better to have a t fitting or to have a reservoir?
