Parvum Extreme MbK

Hi fellow casemodders, Kier is back...again

This time I will start with a great new acrylic case
Probably you have seen it allready in the buildlogs from L3p and K.3nny, the new Parvum systems S1.0

The case is individually cut and hand assembled, various colors and custom modifications possible
When unpacking I noticed the very good quality acrylic (5mm high quality acrylic) ... very hard material to work with, but not impossible, more on this later. The layout is also beautifully engineered.

The case is available from mid-March @ Highflow Parvum Systems S1.0 White
And @ http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CA-000-PS

How it all started:

After missing the postman two times it finally happened. A BIG package:



Very well packed



Hmm 2??? yes 2 Want to build something extreme.





My kid really would like to know what it contains and whether it is for him .... unfortunately for him, these are for me



Little picture with it from the two cases stacked.



And a warning just in case ...



A nice thank you letter from the Parvum family





The black and white case with the following specifications:

- Materials: Acrylic
- Colours: Black/White
- Dimensions (WxHxD): 275 x 305 x 420mm
- Maximum CPU Cooler Height: 152mm
- Motherboard Sizes: mATX
- 3.5" Drive Bays: 2
- 2.5" Drive Bays: 4
- Cooling Front: 2 x 120mm
- Cooling Rear: 3 x 80mm
- Cooling Top: 2 x 120mm
- PCI Slots: x 4















4x PCI slots



PSU opening



Air outlet for the PSU



Front fanholes







And more 80mm fanholes at the back







The mATX mobo tray, a hand bent acrylic mid-wall. Provides both case strength and the cable management



With openings for the cables and possibly tubes



The second case is slightly different internally and externally then the first original. Because I'm planning some fun stuff with this

However, both with window



Front is the same





Furthermore the second case is empty, because I need only 1 hardware section. It is also slightly different at the back. 2x 120mm fanholes in the middle



Also there were some nice extras in the package like:

Case feets





Some beautiful 240mm radgrills.





And a 160mm radgrill.



I also asked for some extra rest material for various purposes.



Extra mounting stuff.



Some last shots of the cases together







To be continued

I'm liking the case selection and not common....what are your plans with this build once you get it completed? What type of computer are you aiming for with this build?

[Saltire]

I'll definately be following this... looking forward to see how it turns out.

[kier]

thanks for the comments you guys

I'm liking the case selection and not common....what are your plans with this build once you get it completed? What type of computer are you aiming for with this build?

Dont know what to do with it when finished....net yet. There will be an Asus Maximus V Gene and 2x HD7870 in it, offcourse with WC

And now it's modding time

The idea is to stack everything. The bottom with the hardware, then the radiators and on top the reservoirs
So Rads + fans on the original part of the Parvum





To reinforce the lower part a bit i've placed some aluminum strips. Just to be sure





Used the existing cubes to mount the next layer.



On each corner



Cut some side panels to the right size and an opening for the fans



Like this



And cut two pieces black and white. Black has the same same shape as the original front below.
In this there will come an Asus ROG logo



Placed the radiators. Still need to make brackets for these



Also placed the fans



Looks good allready I think











ROG logo will be added later



For the back I have cut 2 panels with fanholes to the right size



And placed it







Testing the fans and gives me a nice shot





And we continue with the next layer



These will be all around with windows except the back. It will be the same height as the radiator layer.

[fuzelogic]

I like the ASUS Logo.... It would be cool if it could be raised off of the case to give 3d appearance.....kinda if it was leather with some foam / filler behind it to push out the logo

imagine how they put a logo on a headrest of car seat

What type of fans are those?

[kier]

Thanks, the fans are NorthQ 120mm fans

Also placed the EKWB EK-FC7870 onto the GPU's.













Placed the nice FC7870 backplates







Time for some modding. Om top of the Parvum I placed the resevoirs, with here and there some acrylic tubes





The outlets



The inlets and one of the fill ports



Everything straight



And a total shot



Placed top and mobo



















Installed the EK-Supremacy. Did some brainstorming for the tubes



CPU outlet to the GPU inlet





Then go right







Placed the pump about as posted on the HDD cage, more about this later









To hide the HDD/ SSD I have cut some acrylic. Also filed and polished





Glued together with ACRIFIX









Just a few more.









Placed the pump onto the last plate.







This week I will receive the last panels for the top after this it's time to do some last things
sleeving and connect all the tubes.

Grtz.

[paulbagz]

Just out of interest, how did you do up the U fittings on the GPUs?

Lovely work as well!

Other side was a bit tricky, but made a panel ​​to hide some cables



Then....

Filling!!!

Put a roll of toilet paper in the case and here we go

Great color red







Let it run for a while. And no leakage

Here the pics of a filled Parvum case...Extreme





























































That's it for this sunday

[Jack]

Serious craftmanship Very nice.

Too bad there's no double bottom, then there wouldn't be any horizontal tubing. Maybe a black piece of tubing would work at the bottom.
And if the plexi, hiding the HDD, was vertical as well, it would 'match' the tubing more I guess...

That's it

[kier]

Thanks,

What's wrong with the horizontal tubing? this is something i always bring back in my builds The plexi cover, do you mean the 5.25 bays?(The HDD's are now in the lower part of the front)

[Jack]

Well there's nothing 'wrong' of course...
But I was thinking it might look better if you keep the overall look (lines) vertically.
For example in the side view, all tubing is vertical except the bottom one, coming from the gpu.

And I meant your custom HDD cover yes, the layers of plexi in the lower front, which are now stacked horizontally.
If they're turned 90*, then the red plexi would match better with the vertical red tubing.

Just my humble 2 cents

[kier]

My mistake mate lol, thought your previous reply was for my Alienware casemod (updated this one yesterday) didnt noticed it was for the Parvum build
so my apologies

[kier]
