Scratch Build – In Progress Onwards and upwards by Parvum Systems : Complete

Nice work mate, so far the progress is looking good!

 

Hate the branding, love the colour; It should be stunning!

 

26 March Update

Thanks, more coming!

Understadnable that company branding isn't to everyone s taste. There will be some ROG branding also so sorry in advanced !

Hello again, back for a short update. We actually put the full rig together in a very slap dash format just so we could take the rig to LAN. It was actually great practice as we could see any flaws and find any issues that would need to be addressed. The rig is now drained and stripped back for rebuild so the project log will continue. Thanks for the support and everyone we met at i48.

Sorry very short and sweet this time. More tubing and rebuilding!

First we added the EK RAM blocks. Loving the 2 X RAM blocks! More eye candy!!



Then comes some more straight line tubing:




Ending the day (we did say it would be a tiny update) we have correctly installed the 80mm fans and wanted to show you the start of cable routing/management.

Next update will provide you with much more to look at

 

Nice routing, it must have took some working out to get those tubes lined up accurately

 

Looking awesome!

 

It was somewhat hell. I think it took about 5 recuts to get it to what we are now happy with. Damn worth it though!

Thank you very much!

UPDATE TIME!

So to continue with the rebuild to get all the cable management in place. We did it almost in a backwards fashion. No cable holes initially then after a full rig build mark up the exact measurements and cut again. Long winded indeed but gets the finish we wanted.

60mm Alphacool back in place:



Gentle fans installed via the second layer/accent panel:



Would like to welcome Pexon on board. We met James from Pexon at iSeries and got to spend a good bit of time together. We have actually traded work for work here and this is a shot of the PSU as you may have seen already if you follow his work:



Next some floppy tubing that needs to be used in places that wont be seen in the final. It was impossible to not use any in a build so small but it wont be seen. Also the 8pin EPS for the motherboard:






With the Enermax fans installed:



And as promised the EK block changed to clear/frosted:



We had been lucky enough to part exchange an old card for a second GPU and got the matching block for it. SLI connector goodness here from EK:



A little idea of what is going on up there to make this thing all happen. Lots of holes, lots of mad connectors. Excuse the mixture of fittings. These won't be visible so it didn't have to all be bitspower



So now because of the second GPU that we didn't take into account efficiently we had to change the tube routing. It doesn't look as amazing as the all in line tubing but after seeing it filled with tester fluid it still looks amazing and we are really happy.
Here are some photos of the fittings and changes:







A few random shots of the PSU cables and the top chamber, starting to take shape:




To end the update a few shots of the routing system. Though not all direct to the top they work really nice and straight tubing is killer:




Again thank you SO much for reading. It means everything to us. Please throw questions, advice and/or ideas at us!

See you on the next one!!

 

Looking good man, nice to meet you too. Can't wait till the next LAN

 

Really sexy. Can't wait for more.

 

This was by far the highlight of visual stimulation in the i series for me! honestly... I'm still thinking about it daily!

 

Pleasure was all ours! Stocked to see your case now. Hope you do a build log
Same! Roll on summer LAN!

Thank you! Working on it when possible!!

Ah thanks Nate! Being far to kind though! Hopefully you'll get an even better insight summer LAN.

 

I really like the center devide design.

 

I love that E22 acrylic tubing! Saw it on MonsterPCMods today
This keeps getting better and better! Keep it up!

 

I love those Parvum cases.

I hope I'll get one soon.

 

Absolutely Amazing.

Love the colour scheme. Red and white go really well together and the care you have put into your work is fantastic.

Excellent work and I look forward to more screenies

 

30th March update cable management

Thank you!

We do also! It has a very nice tolerance

Thanks very much and if you do please... photos!

!!UPDATE!!

Time to manage some cables.

Sponsors:









So first we work on the top chamber. A portion of this will be kept visible from above so these will be managed with some degree of care. The back of the case will be contained so we don't have to be as careful.

We begin by using MDPC clips and clamping each 6 cable bundle to the acrylic:



To fit these cables we use brass inserts and M3 bolts:




To insert the brass peices into the acrylic we used the good old solder iron trick that we first spotted on a project log some time back:






Finishing the rest of the GPU power leads:




Moving to the back of the case; more of the same but as I said not important here to keep it tidy, these wont be seen. The only reason we are doing it is to take any cable bulge or pressure off of the side panel:




With the 24pin we just cable tie it to the other cables. Again we are not going to make this look perfect as it will be housed with acrylic:




Sadly that is all for today folks. Just keeping you in the loop!

 

Wow excelent build, the Wc and cable management looks perfect.

regards,
ziza

 

Looks neat.

And thx for that plexi trick.

 

Really like the brass insert trick.

 

This is simply amazing. If I had the time and the money to build a second system, I'd definately be going for a case like this! It's outstanding!

 

so clean ...amazing build indeed ...
