It looks awesome also. I was tempted to order one this weekend. They also have some new low profile fittings and a black matte 13/8 mm soft tube

Yes, the inner diameter is the same as the original that comes with the eisbaer, but the eisbaer is 10/8 not 13/8 so this one would not need the ugly spring on the outside. I don´t know how much of a difference would make a bigger diameter in such small cases... any little counts though

thats why i decided to go for tubes you get a inner diameter of 10mm on a 12 mm tube and if you take the one piece ek fittings they have a inner diameter of 10mm all the way :) (no hexagonal nothing just a round 1cm inner diameter all the way)
so it seems to fit in CAD

now just have to wait for the a12x25 chromax fans i bet the black noctuas outsell the brown ones like 10 to 1 thats why they are doing it ;) a small tip here noctu ged rid of the shit brown and keep a tan/black something like this that people would actually buy:

I have recieved the HF compression fittings, they are made of plastic, I wasn´t aware of that, its completely plastic. The 90 degrees one, are made of brass, but the fittings are plastic, it looks like the same plastic of the quick disconnect that comes with the eisbaer

? thats awfull to be fair plastic is good enough i learned this in the RC car hobby its most of the time better than aluminium but i guess thats why they call it industry (cheap shi.) and the 90 deg has to be metall plastic would break if you would putt stress on it over long time ;) like a washing maschine :)
can you post some real world pictures?
