dont forget if you get tubing that is quite thick you will find it really hard to install and get the tubes in the direction you want them

Here’s what I found, all are ½ ID ¾ OD. Sorry but I'm too lazy to get the prices with shipping.
__________________Tygon R3606: Pros: Little fighting in bends, very hard to kink, takes heat well without compressing. Cons: Price 1.95 From Sidewinder 2.80 From Danger Den Tygon R1000: Pros: No fighting it in bends, extremely hard to kink, takes heat well with out compressing, can make tighter bends then even R3606. Cons: Price, availability. Sorry I can’t currently find any in stock. 3.50 From Sidewinder sold out Clearflex 60 I personally don’t have any experience with this although it’s supposed to be the same as R3606. 0.99 From Jab-Tech 0.99 From Voyeurmods 1.25 From Danger Den 1.25 From D-Tech 1.60 From CrazyPC Primoflex I haven’t used this or heard too much about it but here it is. 1.99 From Xoxide 2.00 From FrozenCPU 2.00 From CrazyPC

I use masterkleer 7/16" ID tubing. it is still thin (5/8" OD) but it won't kink easily and it won't collapse either!
it's like 30 some cents/ ft from mcmaster.com
