Parvum Extreme MbK

Sponsored by:









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/showproduct.php?prodid=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

Thanks for the comment... and now 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.

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.
