Yo Cherry, i got my parts at Home Depot's plumbing section
vietp13, not sure what you're asking, but again all the stuff you need to make the PVC rez is found at any Home Depot or Builder's Square including the barbs.
Btw semi, nice hook-up Here's Mine:
I could'nt hook-up the rez the otther way because it would block the video card's vga port. I have to admit it works like a charm tho

I use teflon tape & it's enough. If you drill the hole just a tad smaller than the threads on the barbs it will be watertight when you screw them in, the teflon is just insurance. Try it, if one leaks then seal it up.
Like the paint job, next time I have the system apart I'm painting mine - lol.

nice setup guys =d thkz for the info
I :
A-- drill a 3/8" hole, and finished off with a dremel.
B--use a large versa-bit that I have. It's a triangular shaped bit that will drill many different size holes, but fits a normal 3/8 drill. $45 though.
C--drill/dremel a hole, then use a pipe tap for the right size.
Judging from my measuring tape, it'd be 9/16" bit for a 3/8" NPT fitting, and an 11/16" bit for a 1/2" NPT fitting. Rough measurements though, so you may need to taper the hole slightly to get a fitting started. Exacto knives work well for this...CAREFULLY

well said...or you can roll up to home depot pick up a 1/2 barb, head over to the power tool section and ask someone who works there which size drill bit you would need to bore the pvc out...
