Sworn_Vendetta Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Hey so I was looking into getting a new comp and well I do things big you could say :/ my last comp cost 6grand and this one is looking to be around 3.2.... now i know a lot of people will be tearing there hair out becuase my "old" comp is still regarded as top of the line, but hey I don't care. So anyways my questions are, Where can I get red tubing? And what is a good reservoirs? I could probably easily find the reservoir but hey im lazy and cant be bothered finding one that will fit a 1/2' ID ( well cant be bothered atm its 2am and im tired from work)... I'm after the red tubing because i would rather use distilled water for the coolant as its cheap and it generally better than pumping dyes into your coolant (or am I mistaken ) and I dont want it to look boring so I opted for red as it will look nice in my Corsair 800D... I hope someone can help me, the parts dont need to be located in Australia provided I can get them shipped over here, thank you in advance.

Hyper Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 There are a few places in the states I usualy get my WC stuff from that carry several different colors of tubing.. Jab-Tech Frozen CPU Performace PC Sidewinder Petra's has some good stuff too but diddn't see any red tubing. Not sure about shipping from then though..

Stonerboy779 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Frozen CPU ships to aus mate but they whack $150-200 in shipping costs minimum. You don't have the largest selection at pccasegear but they still have enough stuff to put together decent water-cooling setups. Unfortunately no red tubing, black, clear uv blue and matt white instead. You may find they don't put the same cost on shipping for a smaller order from the states, of just tubing but on a full loop it's $150+ There is also this place http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3_262&products_id=2003 A small Aussie bussiness run by a guy from OCAU I haven't used him but apparently he is good. Hop on OCAU and should be able to find out all you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cespenar Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 TechBuy in Silverwater, Sydney, sell red tubing for $17-05 per metre. Try them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirro Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 most scientific lab supply companies sell tygon & higher grade tubing. you might get lucky depending on the area you live in, but will be way cheaper than buying "pc watercooling tubing" which is the same but more expensive pumping dyes arent an issue if you clean your setup out. however they are likely to stain tubing, and after a while when i was using some petras uv, it was building a little crumwad of particles in the copper inside of the cpublock as for the resevoir, i had a little switched res, and a ddangerden dual bay, although the dual bay looked waay better, it didn't help keep the waters ambient temperature down as much as i had thought it would.

Coors Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Petra's will ship internationally. I didn't see red either on their site but if you can't find any other places send them an email. They might even track some red stuff down for you and ship it. Nice guys to buy from. Edited October 2, 2011 by Raiderfan001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
