passing thru definitely a nice build, those pipe works looks real clean making me really think of that the risk and try it out on my build.

I'm more than a little jealous - I'd love to do a water loop, but ultimately I lack the confidence to do it. It's lovely seeing others efforts though

You're right, and as I'm currently psyching myself up to rebuild my gaming pc (it's off right now while i enjoy the mac life and figure out what I want in terms of components) I might give it a go; start with something basic like grapics card cooling and work my way up.I think JayZtwocents had a couple of tutorials that seemed...easy to follow.

i used JayZtwocents videos and just bought a bunch of tubes and jigs, its not that difficult to bend pipes you just got to get the heat right so they bend nicely with no bubbles, too hot and it will bubble and crease.

as i said takes a few goes and you might waste 2-3 packs but once you get it your good.

Is it worth investing in the bending kit with the things like rubber tubing that he had?

you need to choose your pipe size first i went with the corsair stuff (frosted)

yes you need the rubber thing (goes inside tube to stop it collpasing) and get some bending jigs, plently on amazon and cheap. so you can bend the pipe around it while your hitting it with the heat gun.
