im trying to find some solid inexpensive tubing(cant afford tygon atm unfortunately)and im wondering if this stuff is any good.
on a side note is there a c shaped fitting to help avoid kinking?not exactly c shaped but something to help with tight bends.example:going from cpu to nb.

HD sells whatever the local distributor has, so YMMV

DD sells masterclear by the foot or you can get it strait from http://www.mcmaster.com/

Are you going for cooling or scilence?
The NB usually isn't something that needs water.

wich rig?

its the first rig.im probably not going to cool the nb on that.the tubing ive got now is the hd stuff and it is really stiff and bends the heck out of my vc.im going to be replacing the mb and ram within the week and would like to replace this crappy tubing while im swapping everything.
wow that masterkleer is cheap.ive heard alot of good things about that tubing as well.i was hoping to get everything i need at one place to save on shipping but at that price i cant complain lol.which is easier to bend the 1/2idx5/8od or the 3/4od?im thinking the 5/8 probably eh?

You could order some masterkleer tubing from www.mcmastercarr.com This stuff bends well and is quite inexpensive, somewhere around $.30 a foot.

I'd stick with the masterkleer. I first ran the HD tubing and it gunked up and didn't bend well.

Another vote for masterkleer.

masterkleer 7/16" tubing from mcmaster-carr (www.mcmaster.com)
the product code is 5233K44

I have used both 1/2"x3/4" Clearflex and 7/16"x5/8" Masterkleer, and the masterkleer is superior in every aspect as far as I'm concerned. It's easier to route, looks sharper and has quite the resistance to staining/build-up, and is cheaper to boot. Only downside is that it's a little tough to get onto 1/2" barbs, but nothing a little boiling water doesn't solve.
