It's Build Time Again !! Hi Guys, since nov-december 2014, I have been working on a case design in collaboration with Parvum Systems.. Basic idea was to take the Parvum Systems S2.0 case, Re-Design it, and build kind of a Monster Blue Energy tribute build .. I call it "Parvum|Beast" .. FINAL IMAGES ARE UP !!!! - FINAL SHOTS - !!!! HERE'S A TEASER FROM THE FINAL IMAGES Here's Why i ended up building a monster energy drink Tribute machine. Well the reason why the monster logo and name plate is used in this build is because the Monster Blue Energy Drink, and Monster Gaming Army is what inspired this build.. Actually came up with the idea when i was googling the black/blue parvum systems s2.0 case, and was drinking my Blue Monster energy drink. And have been wanting to build in a Parvum case for quite some time. So I thought to myself, wth, why not build a parvum case inspired by the monster energy drink, and make it look Beastie .. I mean, people build tribute mods to all kinds of stuff, so why not build a monster tribute machine So please dont judge me for building a Monster tribute Machine, Instead enjoy the level of detail and effort i put into this build below is the link to the post with a few pics of the original S2.0 case, And the 3d renderings of the final design we made Big Thumbs Up to Justin and the rest of the crew at Parvum Systems for this, such great work and such great details ! These guys can make ANYTHING in Acrylic ! <3 Everythig in this little beast is going to be watercooled with parts from EKWB.com, and Coolerkit.dk And all the PSU sleeving is from MainframeCustom.com Here's a little teaser of what's allready been done, and more to come Enjoy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Progress Links : Parvum|Beast Renders Parvum|Beast Case Parts Parvum|Beast Assembling The Case Parvum|Beast The Hardware Parvum|Beast Part 1 of the Watercooling parts Parvum|Beast Part 2 of the Watercooling parts Parvum|Beast The Fittings Parvum|Beast The Sleeving Has arrived Parvum|Beast The Polishing Of EKWB Waterblocks Parvum|Beast The Liquid & Light Test Installing the waterblocks Test Mounting of the Waterblocks, and modding the flipped GPU.

Parvum|Beast Design Idea and Renders from Parvum Systems Here's the Original Parvum Systems S2.0 and the final render design layout that we agreed on. Hope you like the design The case has arrived, and i will post pics of the assembly very soon..
Parvum|Beast The Parts For The Case Here's all the case parts, pics of every single part by it self.. I am so amazed by the work Parvum Systems has done! Excellent work guys! <3
Parvum|Beast Assembling The Case Pics of Case assembly, piece by piece. I must say, this turned out even so much more cool then expected !! <3
Parvum|Beast Design The Hardware Here's pics of all the hardware that's going to get stuffed into this little beast! Next update will probably be of all the watercooling parts <3
In your initial render, i'm seeing a additional strip with a monitor? Does this mean you're actually modding a Parvum, instead of just getting a pre-modded case and assembling a loop in it? Still an awesome build, I have to agree with mad_mic3.. Looks sick!
hehe, im doing minimal casemodding yes, cutting out acryllic plate to cover the pci slots instead of the white bracket.this because i am going to flip the GPU so the waterblock is upwards. and the strip with monitor is going to be the ssd housing, with lcd display to show water temps, IF i can make it fit somewhere in this little machine : D.. And thanks
indeed ! .. RGB Led strips with controller has arrived .. But will probably be the last thing i install Did some tests with the light, to see how both fluid colors reacted with it.. are either gonna use ek-coolant uv blue or ek-coolant blood red liquid in it.. Will throw some liquid in the gpu block "once i get the frosting polished off" and put it under the light, and let you guys decide what looks the best
Part 1 of the watercooling parts Here's the first part of all the cool stuff i got from Coolerkit.dk and Ekwb.com So many awesome things came in from theese guys !.. <3
Part 2 of the watercooling parts Here's the second part of all the cool stuff i got from Coolerkit.dk and Ekwb.com, also a reservoir sleeve from redharbinger.com AWESOMENESSSSSSS <3 I love watercooling parts !
Part 3 of the watercooling parts - The Fittings Here's all the fittings that i will be using in the machine,all from Coolerkit.dk and Ekwb.com Next update will probably be either some light teste of the RGB Led's that will be mounted in the case, or some pics of Polishing the Waterblocks
The sleeving has arrived Here's the sleeving and some extra cool stuff from Mainframecustom.com <3<3 Absolutely in love with the blue colored sleeving, looks so sweet!. Cant wait untill i get to the sleeving part!
The Polished EKWB Waterblocks So i just finished polishing the "Frosting" of the waterblocks, and i must say it looks SOOOOOO much better this way I was recording video when i polished the last block, but the camera fell on the floor .. so no video at this time, but will make one later so you guys can see how its done Cant wait to see how it looks with liquid in them.. ! Will take some pics later with the blocks filled up and under different light
The Liquid & Light Test Okay so first i tried both the UV Blue and the Blood Red Ekoolant in a few blocks, and i really like both colors alot. But then i put it under light, "sorry for the low quality, hard to catch the real life colors on camera". and i tried all kinds of colors, and ended up with white or dark blue as favorites "Last 2 images". Also I am now pretty sure that i wont be using the Blood Red, just reacted really bad under all the lighting. What do you guys think? and again sorry for the poor image quality with lights on. I personally think the blue liquid reacts really nice under light, and think it will be dark blue or white led, "Last 2 images".
Installing the waterblocks Here's the waterblock installing, as you might notice i did not install the monarch x4 block on the memory yet, i will do this in a later post, when i mount the blocked mobo into the case pics will follow! Theese polished blocks just look so amazing ! cant wait to see it all with liquid in it ! <3 You might notice that after i blocked the pump and put on the nickel housing, I just HAD to sleeve those cables, i am NOT a fan of the original black,blue and yellow cables So i took my time and sleeved them in the colors i will be using in the build later on.
