...how much do those plastic compression fittings cost? I have never seen them before.

These are brand new on the market, and I believe will sell for around $1.50 each. They come in many colors (color matched to Primoflex tubing) and are paintable as well. Not a bad option for people on a budget.

Should be available at Moddersmart by next week.

Thanks for the info Bod. If they perform well I may replace all my barbs with these.

Smallish update:

Only had a short amount of time this weekend, so I thought I'd tackle the hard drive covers.
I took 3 pieces of 1/4" transparent blue acrylic cut to hard drive size:

Looks cool held up to the light.

I set up my router table with a 3/4" round-over bit to give me a nice wide curve around the plexi.

First piece cut. A little rough, but I'll smooth them out in a bit.

A couple minutes on each edge with a mouse sander and 220grit sandpaper and I have this:

I purposely rounded only three sides on the top and bottom piece, and only the 2 sides on the middle piece.
This way, even though they are separate pieces, they work together to make up a larger canvas for the next step.

I'll need to sand these a bit more in preparation for paint. Then I will apply a mask with a trident-ish graphic.
But that's for another time.

Here's a little show of some progress I made before all the other goings-on this last weekend (daughter's 2nd birthday party).

T3 reservoir mockup with tubing!

I'll get some more detail shots of them up a bit later.

Thanks man. These are the new Typhoon III dual bay reservoirs from Primochill. Just came out, should be in stores in June. They're pretty sweet. Can accommodate two separate loops with two inputs and two outputs on the back. They also feature two fillports in front which make filling and emptying the system a breeze. Just tilt the case over on its back to fill, and tilt it forward to empty. Comes with or without a D5 pump, and it also will be available in a non-pump version.
