PC watercooling hose
« on: 23 December 2011, 17:38 »
What shops do you think that I can get 3/8" inch acryllic hose from for water cooling systems?

The obvious, pc shops, but highstreet shops don't sell water cooling, but it can be anywhere that sells such hose really, but I just can't think of a place.

Yar, for watercooling.

I've decided I'll just have to wait and order some from Scan, I want to get a few more bits.

was going to say check a pet shop, they usually do hoses of varying sizes, though it won't be acrylic.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I get it from an actual PC shop as the last thing I'd want it the hose popping off or leaking because it's not designed for PC's and then ruining the system.

Lol, its acrylic hose under bugger all pressure, any air rated hose will most certainly do and even fishtank stuff will be fine for this sort of stuff. If your worried about this kind of stuff, use oil as the coolant.
