Where do you folks get those rubber dealies that protect the tubes from damage when you pass them through the case (from outside to inside). I've seen a couple builds with them. I'm assuming from a tool shop like home depot? What are the called?

grommets?
 
You can find them at auto parts stores, there are slimmer plastic ones as well that you can pick up at electronics supply houses, I've even seen some at Radio Shack.
 
Frozen CPU sells 1cm ID ones for use with Innovatek 8x1 hoses, High Speed PC also sells them (I think).

If you just go to your local autoparts store you can find them MUCH cheaper though. Look for little red clamshell packages, they're usually in packages from a company called HELP! (yes, that's the name). You're looking for panel passthrough grommets and they're usually intended to pass electrical wires through a firewall into the engine compartment.

If you need larger ones try PCV valve grommets. Depending on the vehicle specifics some of those go over 2" ID. You'll find those down the tune-up isle usually merchandised around the air filters, oil filers, etc.
 
Grommets... thats it. Thanks all. Just finished ordering all WC parts. Saving $$ for that 7800gt so I can put this stuff together.
