Thankyou

Another Parvum build log

Those guys must be doing some good business. We'll need a build gallery thread soon.

Similar spec to mine - you clearly have impeccable taste.

(and the balls to go for watercooling)

So starting with the case, i bought it off a fellow forum member with the usb 3 kit and even a fill port and funnel bunged in (picture quality is lame i know and the case needs a clean)

Obviously have good taste

I was going to use an H100 but i went for the watercooling option because i want to get into overclocking and it looks nice :cool:

but i had to sacrifice buying a gtx 780 due to costs

So a nice trip up to Ocuk today saw me grab some water loop parts and other things, also added in my tech labs 7970 with block. I also met up with Davido Labido to discuss somethings and let him have my cables to braid!

I just need room for my hands ! The Parvum cases are the the dogs, I forgot to sub you so I have now. Look forward to seeing how you progress, I should be back home on time to start taking some real pictures of mine.

Enjoy

One good thing with the parvum if you need that extra space to move hands around in you can remove say the roof panel completely to help aid your work
