Hello, I am trying to get a part list for my custom loop water cooler. This is the pump I am looking at : <a href="http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2128/ex-pmp-27/Swifte...">Swiftech MCP655</a>
It says it is 1/2" with a 3/8 conversion kit so would it be better to get 1/2" or 3/8" tubing?

Should I use barbed or compression fittings?

What kind of liquid should I use. I'd like to have a UV Blue Reactant so it glows blue?

Would it be possible for someone to give me a part list of all the ideal parts for this, I'm looking for a cost list and I'd like a heat block to the cpu and gpu. For the gpu I would like whatever cools the best I know that there are two different kinds.

Could someone help out a liquid cooling newb?

You've found you're man! Compression fittings will ONLY work with rigid acrylic tubing. Barbs work with flexible tubing. To keep the tube from slipping off of the barb, I use hose clamps.
