Case Mod - In Progress -----'PARVUM MATE'-----

With winter insomnia closing in on us we found just a little time to add some finishing touches to MATE. It has been running quite happily for a few weeks since installing a longer PCIe riser and even attended it's first LAN. The only remaining task was to modify the side panels.



After not so gently removing the plastic frames which held the windows on either side we drilled four holes to screw the panels directly down to the Parvum CNC bed. While it's better equipped for machining sheet acrylic light work was made of the aluminium.





We chose to cut just a slim frame that covers the edges of the chassis while revealing the entirety of the internals. It also flows elegantly between the four corners of the case completing the exterior. Luckily they could still be easily attached with the original magnets.



MATE has also been out for a trip to Tom Barnes' studio for some insane quality photographs to conclude the build. Although it was strange to see somebody else take pictures of my MATE the phenomenal skills and kit will make an epic addition to the project log.





There are still a few more close up shots to get and lots of editing to be done but final photographs are well in progress!

Neat!

 

Hey guys, the time has come! MATE is complete, JR23 said he had to borrow it for some 'research' but today he found the time to have a decent session taking some photographs. It's not exactly a conventional rig so that presented a few challenges, for now we have concentrated on the details. But with the addition of Tom Barnes two epic 3/4 shots it should give you all a full impression of what it's like in the flesh.

So bring on the GPU, Pump Top, Reservoir, Pass-Through full cover madness!



































I hope you all enjoyed the project, we will return with some performance stats and setup photographs. Thanks for all of your support and kind comments along the way and special thanks to ASRock, EKWB, HyperX, nVidia, Silverstone, Mayhems, Tom Barnes and the rest of the Parvum Team.

See you all soon!​

 

It truely is a work of art and you pushed your watercooling skills further again.

 

That's so epic! Good work guys.

 

"Jesus ****ing Christ" seems to be the only appropriate statement to this.
