There's really no point in 1/4" tubing, unless the cooling loop is space restricted (aka water cooling a Shuttle, or rack mount unit), IMO.

Incorrect Information, Low Flow systems like 1/4" tubing corrects it's "flaw" of being too small by actually having a longer time to cool of through the radiator. High Flow systems tend to move a lot of water but sacrifice the cooling capability through the radiator.
All Im saying that there are different approaches, If something is being cooled just as good as the next, where's the problem? Size doesnt matter.
