[Build Log] Parvum S2.0 - Red & Deadly (ROG Custom Case)

Hey Guys,

Welcome to my second ever build, my first build was enjoyable that I ditched my first PC and got a new one :P (Corsair 250D)

The Parvum S2.0, fell in love with this case the first time I saw it.

I thought about water-cooling my parts but decided not to, I'm not an expert with water-cooling and don't have the time to change the coolant or clean the parts every 6 months.

Anyways lets get to the parts!

Update: A custom made republic of gamers case will be delivered to me, might take 2 weeks .. stay tuned!

Note: Please keep coming back to check the status of the parts and the latest pictures, anything in green means it arrived to my address.

Nice and all, but id do things very differently. Especially on the cooling side of things.

You mean go with water cooling? I really want to but the problems are:

1) Changing the parts (especially the GPU) will take time.

2) Its hard to sell water cooling parts in my country, not a lot of people water cool. (selling my parts)

3) Maintance every 6 months

4) and most importantly, I don't know anything about water cooling! I asked people to help me choose the right parts (cost is not an issue) but no one helped.
 
Another great looking Parvum build, looking forward to this one :)

One suggestion I would make would be to exhaust out the top, not intake. The EVGA cooler is non-reference so it'll dump heat in the case and as you know hot air rises. I also wouldn't leave the rear fans to be the only ones venting - I've got a H100i in the top of mine and that's venting out, no issues what so ever. Actually think it works better that way too!

So 2x fans intake infront and 2x fans exhausts through the rads on top? and ditch the 80mm fans? correct?

If that so then ill use the rad>fans>case, ill keep the fans between the case and rad :)
 
I would keep the rear fans, they'll prove useful and very quiet so wether they're at full or not, you'll still not hear them.

I'd put the fans on the inside at the top so FANS>RAD>CASE...

Top exhaust (fans on the bottom of the H105)
Front Intake
Rear Exhaust

Thanks! will do! :)

I have 2x SPs with red rings laying around and 2x SPs with LEDs, ill see what will look better!

Those look nice. How much did it cost to get them printed?

my thoughts exactly I could do with some for my up coming build :)

vistaprint.co.uk

you can upload your custom design, use the editor to add text then order the sticker :)

costed me around $34 (21.87 pounds), it was expensive because I chose fast shipping to the middle east. It will be much cheaper if it was normal shipping.

Excellent quality and customer service, give it a try!
