Hello, everyone

This is my project log for my next build and also my first topic post actually. I've put it off for a while but everything is falling in to shape now so this is the perfect time to show you guys what I'm doing in my spare time!

I've seen so many awesome builds on here over the past years and the itch to do my own project log needs to be scratched

So without further ado; the juicy bits!

System Spec

Case: Parvum ATX - White body and tray with super secret accents.
Motherboard: MSI Z170A XPower Gaming Titanium
CPU: intel i7 6700K
RAM: GeIL White Dragon "SUPER Low-Latency" 16GB C13 3000MHz
GPU: 2 x KFA2 GTX 980 Hall Of Fame
BOOT: 2 x Samsung 950 Pro 256GB in RAID 0
SSD: 2 x 850 EVO 250GB in RAID 0
PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 1000W White - Since I have started using these PSUs, I haven't given any other brand a second thought. They're the quietest ones I've never heard, so to speak, and look absolutely stunning.

Watercooling

- 3 x XSPC AX360 in white
- XSPC AX480 White
- EK-FB MSI Z170A XPOWER TE Monoblock - Nickel
- EK Monarch x4 RAM waterblock - Nickel
- Diamond Cooling HOF blocks with the HOF logo in the white pom top. A custom backplate with the Diamond Cooling brand name and the project name. I'm expecting awesome things from these guys. Their attention to detail and flexibility on custom requests is second to none! If you haven't heard of them before, you should definitely check them out here: www.diamondcooling.co.uk
- Monsoon 45/90 degree fittings in white with chrome accents
- Primochill 13/10mm Dual-Tone hardline fittings in white and silver/chrome
- EK-D5 Vario X-RES 100
- FrozenQ LF Reaction 360mm Reservoir (White/Clear helix - Silver caps)

Misc & Accessories

-Parvum Systems F1.0 fans in white
-EK-D5 Cover Kit (Nickel)
-CableMod 4 pack cables (White/Silver/Blue)
-~~If I can do it~~ When I get to it, I'll put in a lightbox made from some very special acrylic layers. This will be situated at the bottom of the case, above the bottom rads compartment so essentially, it would be the midplate. I've always wanted to put one in to a build and the beautiful soft lighting is worthy of Odin himself.

More to come!

This looks interesting! I'd be interested to see how the stacked rads affects temps.

I'll make myself the cables once i get that stage with mine

Definitely! It's something I haven't tried before so it should be interesting for me. I have a feeling most of the flow would fall to the lower rad though once it reaches the T between the rads so maybe a faster flow would help push more towards the top one.

Aye, they're easily the best option for extensions. Just make sure you have an ATX pin removal tool if you don't already! I'll be taking them out again once the white connectors get here

Very cool looking, will be watching this one

davido_labido · 25 Jun 2015 at 20:51

you want to borrow one of my tools John? (if this isnt john... then... well.. screw you.)

russell664 · 25 Jun 2015 at 22:51

I think I might know who this is too, I popped into OCUK for the first time to pickup a new Silverstone PSU, and the guy I spoke to mentioned about the HOFs in upcoming build.

Hmmm.

1nfamous · 25 Jun 2015 at 23:08

Daaaaaavvvveee

yeah it's me haha

It may well have been me, Russell. I love HOF cards all day ery day

davido_labido · 25 Jun 2015 at 23:19

you want to borrow one of my pin removal tools then you dirty rascal?

Keechy · 25 Jun 2015 at 23:26

look good

1nfamous · 26 Jun 2015 at 06:59

I have them dude. Thank you though, man!

Luggs · 26 Jun 2015 at 07:54

Gonna be epic! The white HOF cards are stunning, easily one of the nicest looking gpu's around. Good luck with the build and keep the pics coming!

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend

An update here with the Enthoo Mini XL case. I actually did this a couple of weeks ago but took pictures along the way. Nothing special in reality as it is just spraying panels but it's always good to share

This case is a bit of a jigsaw once you take it all apart.

These three main pieces are riveted together but wasnt too much of an issue for painting as it's still really easy to get everywhere with the can. All roughed up with 1000 grit.

After a couple of coats.

Both side panels.

Main chassis reassembled.

Front panel pieces reassembled.

aaaaand BAM

I should be getting the waterblock soon so pictures should come shortly of the GPU with the white DC block.

Thanks dude! Didn't take as long as I thought it would actually. Couple of coats, sanded, couple more coats. Done.

Also got these bad boys off of rjk for £100. Bargain

russell664 · 2 Jul 2015 at 14:27

You lucky person you.

Just spent £200 on my new loop parts! :mad:

ED209 · 2 Jul 2015 at 15:45

Liking the case and good job on the spraying!, rads look good too in while and black

Luggs · 2 Jul 2015 at 16:11

Great job spraying, with the black accents it looks better (imho) than most "fully" white cases!

Keechy · 2 Jul 2015 at 17:37

looks so good the paint is a great job cant wait to see it

Vinno · 2 Jul 2015 at 19:02

White cases with black accenting always look nice and 'clean' to me. Looknig forward to seeing more!
