    Hey guys and welcome to my new build log, PARVUM FORMULA!

    This is a special build I am doing for a mate of mine and I'm very excited to build in a Parvum case.

    Thanks a lot to Primochill and Mod/Smart for offering to provide goodies for this build as well as Icemodz who have been very good to me for a while now. Parvum will also provide some custom accessories for the build.

    Here are the SPECS:

    The colour scheme of the build will be black, red, and grey. The case is reverse ATX with a nice windows on top and one in the back to show the SSD. I will also be doing some custom vinyl work on the case.

    I do currently have the case though I am waiting for another panel before I can showcase it.

    In the mean time here are some shots from Parvum while they were making the case :)

    Unfortunately I'm still waiting for one of the panels to come from Parvum :)

    Hopefully it gets here soon!

    Hey guys,

    I know I haven't touched this build log for a while now but things should start picking up from here.

    Here's the case :D

    You can see all the inlays where I will be adding vinyl for detailing :D

    First time putting together a Parvum case and first time seeing one and I gotta say I am very impressed.

    The quality is top notch and the felling of getting the case flat packed and assembling it is just awesome and very easy to do.

    It's a very unique and different looking case indeed and the boys over at Parvum have turned my paint drawings into a masterpiece.

    Can't wait to start building in this case.

    If guys are interested in a Parvum case, now is the time. With the launch of their ITX case the boys are offering a 20% discount store wide, so jump in while it's on :D.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    Hey guys,

    Here are some more pics of the case and I also received the motherboard for the build.

    Have to do something about the upside down ROG logo with this reverse ATX layout.

    [​IMG]

    However a big surprise was waiting underneath and seems like I can't just flip the existing badge as that will show this hole underneath.

    [​IMG]

    So lucky for this case badge that came with the motherboard.

    [​IMG]

    All cleaned up, looking nice!

    [​IMG]

    Thanks for checking it out!

    Just to let you guys know that this build might be moving along pretty slowly as it all depends on my mate's budget in getting the rest of the components.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    Hey guys,

    Here's a quick look at the memory going into the system. 16GB of G.Skill Trident X 2400Mhz.

    Those stickers will probably come off to make the memory fit in with the build a little bit more, it is a good looking kit though.

    Vinyl is on the way for this build so should get the vinyl work done pretty soon.

    Hey guys,

    Here's another update on the Parvum Formula build!

    A quick look at the fans and radiators going in the build. You can also see the inside layout of the build with most of the components in, very well thought out with not much wasted space. I love a case in which you can fill every corner!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    2 x 80mm fans for the back of the case!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    These radiators were purchased second hand, some mounting holes will need to be re-tapped. Think I'm gonna do all of them with an M4 thread.

    We now have a PSU! The EVGA Supernova 850 G2.

    I love the textured look of it!

    Updates coming thick and fast, it's taking shape. looks great! I like the little mod on the chipset. RAM looks good paired up with the ROG board. Wish Asus would do a black edition. Looking forward to seeing where you go with braiding.

    Thanks mate! Yup, I try to post at least once a week with this build log so it's moving alright. Still a lot of components that need to be purchased though, but I have a list of everything I need to do with the stuff I already have :) So I'm taking it bit by bit when I have time in the weekends and after work when I can :)

    Hey guys,

    I have a quick new update on this project, like I said at the start, this one might take a while so it's going slowly but steady :D

    The boys over at Parvum Systems were kind enough to provide these custom made fan grills that will surely be a nice addition to the build and they also match the rest of the fan mounting holes on the case.

    Remember guys, Parvum can make and cut anything out of acrylic and pretty sure other materials too so if you ever need anything custom done, give them a buzz and they might be able to help you out!

    Check out the fan grills!

    Two are for the 240 rads and one for the two 80mm fans on the back of the case.

    Thanks for checking it out!

    If you have seen the latest Mod of the Month round here on Bit-Tech, you might have noticed my other ongoing project TOXIC CHROME has been nominated. Please head here to check it out and show some love :D

    Cheers,

    Alex

    Hey guys,

    Back with another update for Parvum Formula, a very small one though.

    I received the vinyl for the build and wanted to show you guys.

    I will be working on the case over the following days to try and get all the vinyl work done.

    I have black, grey and red colours and the red one seem to match the red on the case really well.

    Hey guys,

    Here it is, another small update on the Parvum Formula build. Maybe some of you have been waiting for this one to see how the front panel will look with the vinyl work applied to it and here it is.

    Had a slight delay with this, the red vinyl I have which I showed before is really bad and barely sticks so I ordered a new one and hopefully it arrives at some point this week. The black and grey ones I have are really good so ordered the same in red as well.

    So the front panel is done as no red was needed for this. More to come on the rest of the case and also other components as soon as I get the new red vinyl roll.

    Hope you guys like the outcome!
