You could always have two tubes next to each other, one with large bubbles and one with small. Or you could even have three - large bubbles in the center pipe and small ones in the outer two.
You could maybe even use different diameters of pipe (eg, one large pipe and two smaller ones etc)

I'll have to do some google searching on that.
I am going to a plastic store today and look into solid clear tubing. I am also going to head over to the aluminum yard and see what kind of stock they have for cutting out the accent pieces and speaker grill. :applaud:

Seems goz is right on track

altho it's a computer they are just using an air stone (the air filters in fish tanks that blow air) so it seems the oil won't harbour bacteria so that seems like the solution as the water creates algae
do double check the oil wont create mould etc as i did a quick search and nothing came up but just to be safe

Most excellent computer they have there. I will be stopping by the vets office before this is all over. ;)

Okay, shopping list update:
1. The computer arrived today. Everything made it but the case.
2. I bought 5/8" and 3/8" hard tubing for the bubbler. $35
3. I bought 1/4" x 24" x 55" black plexi as it will be the main accent piece of the jukebox. (Mountain, I need to borrow your polishing skills) $110
4. I bought 1/16" x 24" x 48" qty.2 of soft aluminum to create all of the accent pieces and the speaker grill. $34
5. The local animal hospital said a gallon of mineral oil will be $18.
Now it is time to start designing. :applaud:

I've started to do some Sketchup of what I'm thinking. I've decided that I will not be able to bend the top curve with tubing like I planned, so the project has changed a little. This pic is how far I got tonight.
