Well, now that I have most of the stuff I need to rebuild my setup, I thought I'd post a few pics of the stuff I got from USPlastics that I thought others would be interested in.

First off, we have a shot of the various fittings I ordered, both NPT and hose barbs in a variety of sizes:

These fittings are semi-transparent, and glow nicely under black light for those of you with case illumination. Check it out:

Next are the Colder quick disconnect fittings. All the ones I ordered were equippied with shutoff valves much like the standard ball seals you'd see in a metal quick disconnect so that the flow is cut off on both sides once the connection is broken. The one on the left is an elbow hosebarb fitting, the one in the middle is a 1/2" NPT fitting, and the one on the right is a bulkhead fitting that will go on the outside of my new enclosure and my tower to run the lines between them:

I've got some other random shots of stuff, including the damage that prompted me to start the rebuild in the first plast as well as shots of me rebarbing my Big Mamma to 1/2" fittings. The link to the main picture directory can be found here

Enjoy.
