Just got my new cpu mag and I saw this-

Looks like regular tubing with sleeves to me... The red must be from dye.

SpecialBlend beat me by a few minutes with a better solution. (Good Find SB!)

Here's another option...(was typing this and SpellChecking up while he was posting).

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they put a plastic coil around normal tubing just to give the tubes a sci-fi look.

You can get similar stuff at office supply shops. It's used for spiral binding.
See the links below.

If you look at the pictures very carefully in some of the shots it appears that the spacing in the coil loops changes a bit...which leads me to believe that there are actually two separate elements at work here: the tubing and the coil.

You can get this stuff in various sizes and colors. You could probably even dress up cable sleeving with it.....
