I read about the US fittings (10mm) being different from the Euro fittings (8mm). If I am ordering directly from Aqua-Computer, can't I just order a few meters extra of 8mm tubing and not have to worry about swapping stuff out? I mean if I'm going to have the stuff shipped from Germany, might as well get all the accessories right? Are there any drawbacks to doing this as opposed to just swapping stuff out to 10mm fittings?

Thanks for answering my n00b questions.

whats the address to that aqua fittings??

www.aqua-computer.de is the website. I use the Shop link then click on the picture of the hoses. I pretty much had to use the Google Toolbar feature to translate all the pages. You'll have to click the back button to the German page to add stuff to the cart, since the translation program that Google offers is still beta, and you'll probably get java errors if you try to order on the translated pages. Most of the radiators are 6 or 8mm, but there are some that you can order "10mm female connectors". The one link I was looking at had a picture of clear tubing that leads to an accessory webpage for the "plug & cool" series. I am going to the Middle East for 45 days, so I was going to order everything Nov.1st and have it when I get back to start on my system. I was also going to get one of their cool looking resevoirs.
