I am building a new pc and this time going to use hard rigid tube. Now I see a lot of people seem to use right angle fittings on the cpu and gpu blocks is this necessary or can I just use compression fittings and bend the rigid tube to fit?
 
You can just bend the tube to fit and use compression fittings, but it depends on how complex you want things to be and what look you are going for.

Well the look I was thinking of is to not use right angle fittings if possible and just use compression fittings so everything all the same.
 
Depends how soon out of the fitting you need the bend to be.....it can be easier to fit a 90 degree fitting rather than bend the pipe right at the end
 
Largely dependant on where the straight after the bend sits distance wise from the component. If the straight section is close to the component then you'll probably need to use a 90deg fitting. If it's a wee bit away then you'll be able to bend the tube. You probably need a good inch for a bent tube from cut to downstream of the bend - straight.

Well I think there should be at least 100mm maybe more clearance so I should be able to just bend the tube and use a compression fitting.
