how bad is this going to hurt my flow?

OK. ok ok. I know Ive always loved the t-lines. but now...I have seen the aqua computers silver metal res

http://snt-systems.com/catalog/produ...products_id=97

and, well, i love it (in silver obviously). Of course, its ze german and they use the metric system, which does not match our american system too well. if I use the 12mm barbs (also sold at good ol' SNT), hwo bad is it going to hurt my flow in a 1/2" ID system? 12mm comes out to 0.47 inches which is a pretty big difference from 0.50, but i dont know how much it will REALLY matter.

any help is greatly appreciated. I dont have a girlfriend so I gotta waste my money SOMEWHERE :p

You could just drill them out if they're really .47 inch.

Regardless I wouldn't use an Aluminum res.

Also, nice pic. I'm going to see bad religion play next week in Phx. Can't wait, even if they're playing OUTSIDE in Arizona at 3PM :smileburstingintoflames:

12mm=1/2" with the tolerances that we have. With plastic tees, a half inch one has 10mm ID and 15mm OD. :S
