MIPS P5B Mosfet blocks - sweet, but how to incorporate into 1/2" loop?

[Cyprio]

I was just doing some 'sunday evening internet surfing' and came across these babies:



MIPS also do a whole load of Other waterblocks for specific motherboards - take a look: http://www.mips-computer.de

My question is how to incorporate 2 of these into my pre-existing 1/2" loop? I am planning to change case soon and i guess i could move to complete small bore but that would mean changing my CPU and GPU block, changing the fittings on my PA120.2 etc. Hassle.

I had the idea of putting 1/2" connectors on the input and output of this mini-loop and have 10mm hose in between the blocks (so i can use the 90degree 10mm connectors to avoid having to do a tight bend with 1/2" tubing). i.e. use these:



Do you think they would have a negative effect on my loop by adding unwanted restriction?

Thanks in advance.
