[Project Log] "Parvum|Beast"

[BeckModZ]

It's Build Time Again !!

Hi Guys,
since nov-december 2014, I have been working on a case design in collaboration with Parvum Systems..
Basic idea was to take the Parvum Systems S2.0 case, Re-Design it,
and build kind of a Monster Blue Energy tribute build ..
I call it "Parvum|Beast" ..​

FINAL IMAGES ARE UP
!!!! - FINAL SHOTS - !!!!

HERE'S A TEASER FROM THE FINAL IMAGES

Here's Why i ended up building a monster energy drink Tribute machine.

Well the reason why the monster logo and name plate is used in this build is because the Monster Blue Energy Drink, and Monster Gaming Army is what inspired this build..

Actually came up with the idea when i was googling the black/blue parvum systems s2.0 case, and was drinking my Blue Monster energy drink.
And have been wanting to build in a Parvum case for quite some time.
So I thought to myself, wth, why not build a parvum case inspired by the monster energy drink, and make it look Beastie ..
I mean, people build tribute mods to all kinds of stuff, so why not build a monster tribute machine

So please dont judge me for building a Monster tribute Machine, Instead enjoy the level of detail and effort i put into this build ​

below is the link to the post with a few pics of the original S2.0 case,
And the 3d renderings of the final design we made
Big Thumbs Up to Justin and the rest of the crew at Parvum Systems for this,
such great work and such great details !
These guys can make ANYTHING in Acrylic !

Everythig in this little beast is going to be watercooled with parts from EKWB.com, and Coolerkit.dk
And all the PSU sleeving is from MainframeCustom.com

Here's a little teaser of what's allready been done, and more to come Enjoy

i hope Monster Energy Drink is in the sponsor ... they wouldn't like the logo to be used without asking i bet


looks nice tho but would it be a bit more beasty with a Z97 and not a Z87 and a "real" graphic card? (not that the 690 is not a good one but ... )

 

[micropage7]

im not acrylic fan but it looks good, waiting for further

Yeh, the reason i didnt go with the z97 is actually only because on the vii gene when you remoe mosfett its ugly red beneth

And that dont fit into the build at all so enden up using vi gene instead because its all black ..


And the reason i am using the GTX690 is because it has the most beautifull waterblock for the dual chip GPU ..

You will see what i mean later

well that make sense ... oh wait the 295X2 has also a smexy waterblock, but i agree EK 690 is a beauty

and for monster sponsor ... let me guess .... they will supply the coolant liquide? not a fan of it ... to much Co2 in it (light joke)

 

[Toothless]

This'll be interesting to watch.

UPDATE:



The Case is here ! ..

Only few thing still needed,

i will take pics of the hardware and watercooling parts, and update the build log tomorrow

I am so amazed by the work Parvum Systems has done! Excellent work guys! ​

 

[BeckModZ]

I must say, this turned out even so much more cool then expected !! ​

 

[BeckModZ]

Parvum|Beast Design The Hardware​

Here's pics of all the hardware that's going to get stuffed into this little beast!

Next update will probably be of all the watercooling parts ​

 

[BeckModZ]

​

So many awesome things came in from theese guys !.. ​

[BeckModZ]

The sleeving has arrived​

Here's the sleeving and some extra cool stuff from Mainframecustom.com ​

Absolutely in love with the blue colored sleeving, looks so sweet!. Cant wait untill i get to the sleeving part!​

 

[BeckModZ]

The Polished EKWB Waterblocks ​

So i just finished polishing the "Frosting" of the waterblocks, and i must say it looks SOOOOOO much better this way
I was recording video when i polished the last block, but the camera fell on the floor ..
so no video at this time, but will make one later so you guys can see how its done ​

Cant wait to see how it looks with liquid in them.. ! Will take some pics later with the blocks filled up and under different light ​

 

[BeckModZ]

The Liquid & Light Test ​

Okay so first i tried both the UV Blue and the Blood Red Ekoolant in a few blocks, and i really like both colors alot.
But then i put it under light, "sorry for the low quality, hard to catch the real life colors on camera".
and i tried all kinds of colors, and ended up with white or dark blue as favorites "Last 2 images".
Also I am now pretty sure that i wont be using the Blood Red, just reacted really bad under all the lighting.​

What do you guys think? and again sorry for the poor image quality with lights on.
I personally think the blue liquid reacts really nice under light, and think it will be dark blue or white led, "Last 2 images".​

 

[BeckModZ]

Installing the waterblocks ​

Here's the waterblock installing, as you might notice i did not install the monarch x4 block on the memory yet, i will do this in a later post, when i mount the blocked mobo into the case pics will follow!

Theese polished blocks just look so amazing ! cant wait to see it all with liquid in it !
You might notice that after i blocked the pump and put on the nickel housing, I just HAD to sleeve those cables,
i am NOT a fan of the original black,blue and yellow cables So i took my time and sleeved them in the colors i will be using in the
build later on.​

 

[BeckModZ]

Test Mounting of the Waterblocks, and modding the flipped GPU. ​

Allright, got alot of work done last few days. Test mounted the blocks to see how it looked best,
then flipped the gpu, bend some acrylic sheets to act like supporters for the gpu, and added some velcro tape to hold it in place.
after that, it was time to figure out how i wanted the cut in the case and pci slot cover to be.
Then after the cut i saw i cut too big of a hole, but still its okay
I also was thinking alot about the pump placement, if i wanted it next to the 120mm rad, mounted in the back at the mobo tray, or where to put it for the best looks..
Then i thought maybe i could make another acrylic piece bended in the angle of the GPU, so that the Pump actually is tilted in same angle as the GPu, and i must say it's got the look i was hoping for ..
Also cut out a hole for the LCD temperature display..
But still awaiting the final piece from Parvum, so maybe i will change it later or redo it,
but for now it works out great i think
I also drilled holes for the reservoir mount, and shot a few pics with everything in its place, and also with the window on to see how it looked ​

So what do you think guys ? .. next up will probably be installing fittings and tubing and figuring out the loop ​

 

[Ahhzz]

Nice build!

[peche]

i wanna see it running!
nice build thanks for sharing..
Regards,

 

[BeckModZ]

Just had to try this since its a monster blue energy inspired build ​

So i just finished my Moster Blue Energy Drink, and decided maybe i should cut it and try to fit it over the reservoir, as a reservoir

sleeve .. And i have to say, i actually think it looks kindda awesome.. Maybe i should try do mod it a bit, and see if i can cut out the logo and

make the "M" light up with the UV blue liquid in the res ?

So what do you think guys ? ..worth doing, or just looks to lame ? .. Keep in mind i have monster logo on case also, and that this build is a monster

tribute build to the blue energy drink that i love so much ​

 

[BeckModZ]

Nice build!
/tag

Thanks alot man

i wanna see it running!
nice build thanks for sharing..
Regards,

Thank you ! .. An believe me i wanna see it running too !!!!!!!

 

[BeckModZ]

UPDATE: The fans and the rest of the sleeving just arrived ..
Will take images of it monday where i will also try to cut out the monster energy drink can, and see if i can make it beautiful as reservoir sleeve,
or if i have to try something else

 

[BeckModZ]

The Fans, Silverstone AP121 Uv Blue Blades​

So the new fans just came in ! The Silverstone AP121 with Uv Blue Blades ..
Originally i was going for the other version with blue led and transparent blades, and silver housing. But after trying them out i disliked it

alot.. NOT the fans themselves, but only the way it fit my color theeme.. So obviously i had to get the black housing ones with blue blades instead,

and i am pretty sure it will look sweet with uv blue blades along with the uv blue liquid from ekwb

Also i tried to mount them on the EK Radiators, as a temporarily solution.. just to see how it looks..
Will take them off again later when i re-sleeve the wires from them

Love how it looks.. Tho i know i HAVE to re-sleeve the fan wires, looks okay from stock, but thats just not good enough for me
Pictures of all sleeving progress will follow very soon guys !​
