First WC Set-up
I have never used any WC before, and this is my first rig I built by myself, so I dont really know what im doing too much, but these are the parts ive put together:
__________________Danger Den DD12V-D5 Pump Swiftech Apogee Water Block The Danger Den Acetal MAZE4 GPU Black Ice® GT Stealth 360 XFlow Radiator I think the parts are pretty good, and have been mentioned in the threads ive seen before, but what i was wondering about was the set up itself. My case would allow for the rad to go inside and all, but I was looking at pics and I saw one I didnt understand... http://www.overclock.net/attachments...g?d=1149391502 In this pic, on the T connector, why is there a tube going straight up to nowhere... Or am I just clueless about something?

the tube from the t connector was probably used to fill it, thats why its straight up so it doenst leak out
 what tubing you getting? what about clamps?

anything will do really, just get some jubliee clips or something like that from a hardware shop
erm for the tubing the tygon stuff is great bends easily with sodding upor you could go for some uv stuff if you have a side window

click the cm stacker build in my sig and you'll find a whole bunch of information on good places to mount your wc gear. your setup is very similar to what I just put together!

i would go for some tygon 3/8 or 1/2 whatever size your using. many use tygon becuase of how easy you can bend it with out it collapsing on itself if you get me. not too expensive either

masterkleer has a good bend radius as well. it's clear, doesn't stain as easily as some other tubing and is cheap!
