I would personally recommend the MasterClear PVC tubing, 1/8" wall thickness. I think tygon is overkill and a waste of money for watercooling PCs.

get the MasterKleer 1/2"ID 3/4"OD 1/8"wall thickness from McMaster.com. It's in the very first listing of PVC tubing.
$.58/ft and it's awesome stuff. I have Tygon also but I prefer the MasterKleer.

This tube is HIGHLY recommended. It cant get better than this at this price...

I used #5233K68. It's awesome stuff.
1-99ft $.57/ft

also, the bend radius is 1 3/4" as opposed to 3" for the tygon...so it's very flexible!

I removed the Tygon R3603 & installed Tygon B-44-4X

It has a higher max psi i.e. 25 psi vs 18 psi for 3603

Becomes an issue when using high pressure pumps....
