Barb fittings from home depot, what to get?

I just got my PC back from ICEE Computers with the water cooling all installed. He said that there is an issue with the current barb fittings that came with my RBX not having enough room or notches I believe. Since the online free sample site is restricting samples and I don't feel like waiting, what do I get from home depot that is the best for the RBX and 1/2 inch tubbing?

Also, how do I properly install the fittings when I have them?

PC is a P4 prescott with hyperthreading, ASUS P4P800SE, Danger Den RBX Lucite top for socket 478.

Anyone know? I can't leave it on for too long or it starts to leak a little.

Where is it leaking? The barbs that danger den supplied should be fine. I am still using them. If you do need new ones they are 1/2" barb by 1/4" NPT thread.

I agree with onewecallgod. If you really want to swap out the barbs on the RBX, you'll have to remove the block and losen up the barb from the block. Take the whole thing with you to Home Depot to make sure you get the correct fitting barbs. Get a roll of Teflon tape. Wrap some teflon tape around the threaded part of the barb and screw the sucka into the block nice and snug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! You might strip it and then you'll really be S.O.L. That's all there is to it. Piece of cake .

Well mine are epoxied in place, I don't know about yours. There would be no way of me getting them out without cracking the top. I really think you need to tell us where it is leaking.
