Yes. Go with 1/2". That's a 45% increase (at least..) in cross-section area.

So don't be cheap... Go with it ! Even if you have to spare money for an extra month or two.

Max I'd really like to spend is $35 each. Less if possible.

mhh good luck the price for NB and GPU block seems more around $40-$45.
I like DDen's Z-blocks a lot. Their european counterpart, Aquacomputer Twinplex, are great as well. You can get DDen z-blocks for around $40. (one is at $38 if i remember)
You can get small blocks at D-Tek as well.

If I go the tubing route, it'll need to be pretty powerfull (right?), but otherwise less gph=less noise? It need to be DEAD quiet-like you-cant-hear-it-over-a-5v-panaflo quiet. I was thinking mag drive, but are there any others that are this quiet? I don't mind spending $50 for a quiet pump that can run 24/7.

Eheim, Little Giant are known to be dead silent. heck even my Hydor L30 is less noisy than an idle HDD or a Papst fan.
