I used the home depot stuff, it really is stiff! I used 10ft and I have PLENTY.

I just ordered some Clearflex, got tired of the stiff stuff.

Here are my estimates:

Pump to Block (10")
Block to Radiator (7")
Radiator to GPUBlock (8")
GPUBlock to T-line (7")
T-line (16")
T-line to Pump (3")

And should I splurge with the Tygon or get the clearflex?

I got my 10ft from Home Depot for $4.50!

You can get 10ft of clearflex for $8.90!

Done, I got 10ft. of clearflex and some new mounting hardware for my Maze4. W00t. Actually, 10ft was cheaper than 9ft, because the price drops to 1.12/ft at 10+ ft in the order. Yay.

I cant wait to get this all installed, I wish my midterms would just hurry up and FINISH!

LOL! I just ordered some PrimeFlex (10ft) for $1.29/ft. I'm not sure if it is any better than ClearFlex, probably not.

Yeah, the cheap stiff tubing is more suited to external use, if you have to make tight bends inside a case it would be worth spending the extra on premium tubing.
