        Yup she is shaping up nice. What's the advantage of the petg compared to acrylic?

          PETG isn't as brittle, its easier to work with (doesn't tend to get those micro spider cracks), but more difficult to clean up after cutting even with a Reamer / Deburring Tool.

            PETG tubing also has a lower melting point so you don't have to wait as long before you start bending the tubing. PETG is the same type of plastic used in coke bottles. So the durability is a lot better. It can also handle pressure which also prevents those micro cracks from forming.

            Mounted and installed the water cooling block for the GTX 980 ti. Went smoothly.

            I was not able to complete the build last night. Ran out of tubing
            This was probably because I was wanting to use bends for everything instead of using angled joints.

            Lesson learned... Buy lots of tubing haha. One of the big problems going with PETG is that the only size available right now on Dazmode is 500mm which is just short enough that a single mistake can basically waist an entire tube.

            Here is a pic of what the build looks like so far.





            I am not sure I am too happy with this connection. Should I instead invest in some 90 deg angle adapters and turn it into a straight tube cut or leave it? Maybe flipping it around (flip the tube around 180) would look better...

                Some cool tube runs there.

                    Thanks! I am happy with the build so far. Only had two leaks which were just tightening issues so so far so good!

                    I have a friend that now wants to build their own water cooling system. Water cooling is kind of contagious haha.

                              Wow that's incredibly slow! Luckily i'm in Ontario, so I almost always receive stuff the next day I order it.

                              Who you ship with?

                              One thing I learned with PETG tubing is it's a good idea to get some sand paper, 200 and 600 grades. Otherwise tube gunk might spread through the lines.

                                Canada Post, usually pretty good with them, but they are ****ing the dog pretty hard this time around. It's also not just this shipment either I ordered some dirt bike parts and they've been sitting with canada post in quebec for pretty much the same amount of time.
