Which is More Secure?

I will be using acrylic tubing for my first rig with the help of my brother. He's pretty experienced with computers, having built 8 watercooling loops within the last 2 years. I am deciding on wether to use Bitspower Multi Link fittings with E22 tubing, or to use PrimoChill Acrylic Tubing. I wont be moving the computer anywhere once Im done, other than moving it to my desk. One question, can you bend E22 tubing with a heatgun like you can with Acrylic Tube? I will be using Mayhems Pastel ice white.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Yes you can bend E22 tubing with a heat gun that's how I got the bends and E22 tubing is acrylic tube :D

Well there both secure but the e22 tubing would have to be more secure but it's a whole lot more work and harder

Can you explain why it is a whole lot more work and harder? Is it because you have to sand down the ends? And by "both secure but the e22 tubing would have to be more secure" do you mean it is more secure, or do you mean it needs to be more secure?

Yeah more sanding and other thing this video explains how to work with acrylic tubing

And I mean it is more secure.

Hm. I dont want to go through the trouble of sanding and sides down and stuff, so I think Im going to buy all the sizes of Crystal Link and if it is a bit too long, Im just going to cut a but off the ends and then sand it down.

B-b-b-bump. Do I need to buy one of those silicone inserts if I try to bend Crystal link?
