Other than acrylic stuff there isn't many option for 10/12 PETG tubing in longer lengths:

Only place I know that sells long PETG is Dazmode (Canada) but due to the length they don't ship internationally:

I already have the fittings for the tubes and I dont want to spend another $100 on fittings.

Then the only thing I can think off, is to get an extender (female-female) fitting and connect 2 lengths of tubing together.

Its the easiest options, as you can use what you already have bought.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

Just buy it from http://www.mcmaster.com/# they sale petg tubing in looong lengths. The minimum length you can buy is 6 feet tubes. Plus it's much cheaper then buying from any online pc watercooling place.

You might be able to get longer tubing there, but the question is wether or not they are pc safe.

The PETG tubing from mcmaster.com is the exact same tubing that primochill, ekwb, e22...etc use. There is absolutely no difference other then watercooling companies slapping their own names on the packaging.

There might be small difference that you cant tell right away. Cheap soft tubing and plasticizer is a good example.

When PETG tubing first came into the pc world. I did an extensive research over it. There are only two companies in the inter world that manufacturer PETG tubing and both companies deal in primarily the medical field. Primochill, e22, ekwb...etc do not manufacture their own PETG tubing. They simply get it from places that sale it from the two manufactures and slap their own name on the packaging. There are no special grades of PETG tubing other then size, shape, solid, hallow and inner and outer diameters. It's only one type of grade and it's the exact same across the board no matter who you buy it from.

That might be the case, but I'm not trusting my expensive pc with something that is maybe the same.

Not untill I see a trusted test on it.

ericlee30 is correct.

 

My video was 1st to illustrate PETG used for liquid cooling. Manufacturers watch my channel and quickly reacted. 

 

I didn't start retailing PETG until I was personally convinced it was fail safe alternative. I replaced our MZ-1 PC's acrylic tube loop with PETG after that video was published. MZ-1 has been running 24/7 under UV LED lighting since Feb 24, 2014 without any discoloring to the tubing. That was the primary public concern about using PETG. It's a great alternative to Acrylic for me, since I often have to ship custom PCs to trade shows or events. Acrylic has superior clarity, but can potentially crack under stress while moving your PC. I've seen this happen in customer rigs.
