Hey guys, I'm pretty much a total n00b when it comes to water cooling, so I was wondering if someone could help me out with something?

I'm planning to get this water cooling case:

http://www.xoxide.com/koolance650bu.html

But I hear that it has 1/4 ID tubing, and I can't seem to find many, if any 1/4 ID water blocks... So could someone please answer a few things for me?

1. Do 3/8 tubing/blocks work with 1/4 ID tubing/components?

2. If not, could someone tell me where to get some 1/4 waterblocks? I need CPU, VGA, and Mobo chipset.

3. Will the hosing that comes with that case be good enough that I won't have to worry about leaks (I'm building a new PC and if it gets ruined I will be... upset.)

Thank you, and sorry if these are dumb questions.
 
Zalman sells a waterblock with adaptors to fit 3 different hose sizes ( 1/4" being one) and I think they also sell the other blocks you are looking for as accessories for the Reserator ( whick I believe uses 1/4" tubing also).
 
Sites that sell the koolance gear should also sell koolance cpu and vga blocks specialy designed for their systems. I dont live in usa so im not 100% sure where you can get them, the only site i know is www.frozencpu.com, they sell koolance parts and also 1/4" blocks for vga cpu and chipset.
 
Koolance makes a good block. Its made with gold plating and uses 1/4 OD barbs. I saw it (held it in my hand) at TigerDirect in Miami. Maybe you can order it from TigerDirect.com

A lot of German Blocks are 1/4 compatible an dare excellent performers.
Sorry I dont have any specific links to them though.
