Sponsor and Case Guru's: Brief and Design: Once the idea for the Red Queen had been conceived we approached our good friends at Parvum Systems to help us with the case. Knowing Justin's and Shaun's dedication to detail and ease of customization options due to everything being built in house we knew they were the right choice. The theme was simple and with the rough idea in hand we drove down to visit Parvum and start the case! We based the Red Queens case on Parvums very popular S1.0 White case then asked for a few tweaks. Umbrella Logo fan grills in the front of the case, Replaced the top fans with a top window to see the GPU and Inlaid text above the top window. With the panels cut we promptly boxed it up and went down the pub
