Guys, I cannot for the life of me find a build with the noodles features in it. It’s about a 50/50 chance that I can even download a testing build at all since often I find the link is broken. Is there a reliable build that I can use to try out these cool new nodes features (other than building Blender myself?)

you can find most of the CVS test builds at graphicall.org, as well as the blender.com testing build forum
however, you will find that often times there is only a .exe included in the zip file, in which case you should replicate your official blender folder and place the .exe inside of that (you may need some other .dlls with it, and those can be found online)
i hope this helps
Kind Regards,

Thank you very much, it helped ! I found it finally 
Also, see this site for all of the scripts. Sometimes the builds don’t include everything.

Is it bad or harmful(files,data,etc.) to just put the new .exe in the original folder and launch it with a different shortcut? I’ve recently been doing this with the Blend2Pov build and haven’t noticed anything odd, but then I haven’t used the alternate build much yet.
