Here's my rather odd choices for the watercooling setup im planning.

It's in order to cool two graphics cards which may change (that's why im getting cheapish blocks that are compatible with many cards).

1) Can anyone spot any obvious incompatibilities in what i've picked?

2) What barbs can I get that will fit the swiftech radiator and the tubing i've picked?

Many thanks for any help :)
 
You should swap your tubing for 7/16 (XSPC) just because fatter looks cooler , you may also want 2M instead of one because you'll be suprised how far 1M doesn't go. :P
Plus get 1/2 Inch EK Barbs when they are back in stock to guarantee a really tight fit with 7/16 tubing. Just check that all your hardware is G1/4 thread size :)

(You may need to use hot water to dip your tubing in to get it onto the barbs because it'll be lovely and tight but i didn't have a problem so you should be fine)

EDIT: Just so you know with some hot water 7/16 tubing will fit into the clips supplied with zalman gear so you'll get a tight fit on the built in barbs

EDIT: Your RES and RAD will both take G1/4 barbs so these are perfect: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-006-EK&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1049&name=EK%201/2%22%20Hose%20fitting

I don't think i have gotten anything wrong........

I'm in the middle of specing a water cooling solution and it looks like i will have to order from a few different places because no store seems to have everything in stock.
