Default Found A Practical Use For Crappy Springs

So, I was sitting around re-routing my computer water tubing, and I ran across this one piece that would kink no matter how long I made it. I cut this piece about 6 times, and it was either so long that it was a PITA and in the way, or it would kink.

So, I decided that the tube just needed a little "backbone." After about 3 seconds of thought, I realized that a stock twin force spring would be just about perfect.

You are exactly right!!!

Water cooling my computer is EXACTLY like almost electrocuting myself! Outside of one being an effective way of cooling my computer components, and the other being almost certain suicide of a human life................the situations are identical!!!!!
