Purple tubing?


Alright, so I have some extra low end WC parts sitting around (mainly junk from a Tt Aquarius II). But it could probably cool an OC'ed XP 3000 just as good if not better then the slk800 thats on right now.........I'd really like to make the PC watercooled to cut down on the noise........Possibly increase the OC.

Now, I'm not "allowed" to do this project unless it's a completely purple theme (sigh). Anyone have some incite on where I could find some UV reactive purple tubing preferably? I looked around but didn't really find anywhere that has purple.. 3/8 ID would be best for this. Or any accessories really to make a "pretty purple theme" cause I guess thats what matters most here. Not looking to spend a ton of money, maybe $40 & thats not coming out of my pocket. I do have blue tubing that would be fine, but once again I'm not allowed........

One option is to go with clear tubing & use a purple additive, but I'm not sure that would be acceptable........Also, I use water wetter so after a month or so the clear tubing would be cloudy & then I'd be forced to take the WC'ing out.

There is not much of any choice for purple tubing, but I have a few links that could set you in the right direction. Actually the only tubing I found in purple that would be useful for any WC application is used for stethiscopes.
here are the links:

You can do blue silicon tubing from McMaster. Expensive stuff though.

Thanks!!! I may have a chance after all.

Blue is out of the question & if it's not the perfect purple it's out of the question to. This kind of stinks.....But I'll see if I get the approval. Purple is a bad choice IMO......Here is a start though if nothing else. I appreciate the help, thanks.

get the blue UV reactive tubing and use red UV-reactive water dye

under UV light - the red dye glows through the blue tubing and gives an insane effect under UV light

i forgot where i saw them, but there were pics somewhere a couple months ago

but it looked pretty pimp under UV light

otherwise you could use clear tubing and purple antifreeze/purple marker to dye the water
