How much does acrylic tubing really cost?

Actually, it costs about the same as normal tubing.

 

Look up Primochill's Acrylic tubing. The only thing you will have to pay for extra is the silicone insert to bend the tube.

Or if you chose not to bend the tubing, extra fittings.

Yes, I'm asking how much you think the extra fittings will cost....

3-7€ per fitting

the tubing itself is fairly cheap, around £3 a meter i believe at e22. however the real cost is the fittings as the bitspower fittings you need are around £5 each so if you have a 5 item loop your looking at around £60-70.

you can get away with not using the silcone insert buy blowing into the tube.

For some reason I can't see that working out too well.

it works because the air expands in the tube as it heats up pushing the wall out.

Yeah, that could make it bulge.

Yes! ^ This stuff would be an amazing addition to any rig :) only problem is the need for Primochills' proprietary compression fittings to be able to use it.
