I am looking to do a hard tubing watercooled, I know I will need a 360 and a 240 rad, EK or Alpha cool (I'll get which ever one is the best price), D5 pump, tube res (EK?), but for fittings.. I live in Canada so no frozen CPU as the cost to import is too much. Also where can I buy the tools needed for bend the tubing?

Tube bending materials can be bought at any home improvement store. Are you doing acrylic tubing or copper? Acrylic takes a custom made jig & a small heat gun.

Sometimes putting something hard in one end of the pipe to make it easier to grab for bending.

My current bending setup that I use in shop is a peg board that I can attach a stationary peg to hold the tub and place different size pegs where I want the bends and different sizes.
