Should I go rigid?

[KWelz]

I decided to use the Step up program for my Dual EVGA 970 SSCs to 980Tis.   Once it is approved I figured it would be a good time to go through and clean up my loop a bit.   

 

I love water cooling so I am thinking maybe now would be the time to go PETG.   I hate the idea of all new fittings but figure the looks could be worth it.   

 

Are there any unforeseen pitfalls I should watch out for?   I have some tricky flex tubing runs in my current build and figure Rigid tubing would really let me clean up the looks.   

 

 

Here is the current setup.   

 

I am not a fan of how many times I have to cross lines in here.  And especially not of the tube coming down near the front of the case.  So should I try it or am I getting too far ahead of myself here.

I think it looks cool already.

Hardline isn't a problem only thing is there are a few tight corners such as the rad and the reservoir which I would take extra care to ensure the roundness of the hardline when bending. I'd be sure to get the proper tools such as bending blocks, cutting tools, and heatguns. If you really want to go for it I don't see a problem with it.

Looks spiffy already, I'd go for sleeved cables long before going for rigid. You'll get way more in terms of looks.

Heck, you just need a pre-sleeved 24 pin and a couple 6 pin cables and you're good to go. http://ultimatepersonalcomputers.com/ Does some great work, and does custom cables.

"Should I go rigid?"

It looks just fine, IMO. I guess you can go rigid if you really feel like spending the money.

Saw the title and was expecting you to say something about Viagra.
