Poked around here, and decided to build over buy.
Had a 10% off Home Depot coupon, so I picked up a 50' coil of tubing. I didn't have anything the right size to coil around, so I did it by hand. An hour later, with throbbing hands, I was done.

I boiled it with vinegar for an hour, scrubbed it down. Then I ran warm soapy water through it... Found no leaks.
I did a test boil, and it cooled the water from boiling to 70º in about 8 mins. My faucet water temp is 55º.
Not the prettiest thing... I may add some elbows later, but how is it functionally? What can I do to improve? Thanks.
