Bolded words are the start of each question (3)
Firstly, I was wondering how much the flow is restricted on the 90 angle fittings as opposed to the rotary fittings. I know obviously it is going to be more restricted, but how much? Is there some sort of data for this? Would you recommend going with the rotary fittings, or is the change insignificant?
As seen in this picture:
The tube is straight, and not curved or going around everywhere like most builds. I want to attempt to do the same with my future build, but was wondering about the tubing. Is that just regular plastic tubing? Or is that some sort of special, really stiff tubing?
Back to fittings, I obviously want the colors to match, and according to bitspower's website, the color im looking for is called "Silver Shining"
So i hop over to FrozenCPU, look at the compression fittings, but keep finding two different colors for the bitspower.
They have the silver shining, what i want:

But they also have Silver:

But the Silver isnt actuall silver, because there is a seperate fittings for true .999 silver, So that means it must be a color difference right? Even thought Bitspowers website doesnt have 2 seperate silver colors..
Anyway, this would be a problem, if either the silver or silver shining had all the fittings i needed. For example, certain fittings are only with the title silver, and others with the title Silver shining. So if i wanted to run the set up normally, i would have to mix these two.
And you cant say that They mean the same thing with silver and silver shining because going back to the compression fittings, the silver shining is $5 less than silver. Seems alot for a color.
This got too complicated, so i went over to Performance PCs thinking they wouldnt have this problem. I was sort of right
They didnt have silver and silver shining, but silver shiny and silver shining. hmmm...
Well a silver shining fitting here is really glossy:

while a silver shiny looked sort of glazed and rough:

Maybe its the lighting that caused this? If so, shouldn't these companies be more professional and get the names right? This shouldnt be this confusing.
Are they different? Where can i buy Silver shining Bitspower fttings then?
Thanks in advance.
