More pics:
Should be plenty of room for worm clamps, though you'd have to tighten them before you put the video card(s) in.
The bitpower 1/2" ID - 1" compression fittings won't fit.
But a slightly reduced outer diameter compression fitting might fit.. as long as the maximum OD is less than 0.80", or roughly 3/4".
Those SLI connectors, they wouldnt be the same as these?
Just ordered them for my 3-SLI 8800GTX setup. They haven't arrived yet. Just wanted to know if they will fit.
Also, looks like you're using 1/2" barb size for graphics cards, yes?

No, the ones I have are the EK stubby 1/2" fittings, which I have to connect with a short piece of tubing and a clamp.
I had considered the Koolance SLI connectors you showed, but I wasn't sure if they would be the right length.
Giuliano,
Using the EK shorties are you stressing the cards any? That might be the way I go however looking at your pics it doesn't look like your using the spacers for the copper/nickle block side w/ the shorty. How far are the threads going in on the copper/nickle side?

I don't think I'm stressing the cards any - the blocks were installed per the directions, so there's no bowing or bending.
The short barbs don't need the spacers - they're shorter.
However, the plugs do need the spacers for the copper side, as their threads are a bit longer.
I guess I'm ordering 2x EK shorties nowthanks for the pic.
