Also to add braided cables by Davido Labido hopefully a nice custom backplate by coldzero. I have tried to keep a black/green theme going that the spec gods of honosuseri, RJC, Uncle petey and Ethermaster gave me back in August (yes that long lol) as i like and appreciate aesthetics

Thankyou

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)

 

[Aneskimo]

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)

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

 

[Aneskimo]

hello hello hello... what have we here then!?!!

Ummmmm i'm not sure

 

[Aneskimo]

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!

 

[Aneskimo]

Looks awesome, can't wait to see the finished rig

Cheers bud, I'm aiming for a december finish with regular updates

 

[Aneskimo]

Looking good so far, black/green llooks nice

Cheers bud

 

[Aneskimo]

I do like Parvum builds
Looking forward to this one as well Davido must be bloody busy, nearly every other thread is getting their cables braided by him!!

Thanks mate, he was saying how much braiding he has on aswell as his job the guy is flat out but he enjoys it

 

[Aneskimo]

Looking forward to seeing this one, enjoy the build

Cheers mate, oh good luck on yours very nice spec i did look into the Enthoo before i picked up my parvum

 

[Aneskimo]

I've got to love the Parvum,
Nice looking build, can't wait to see how it goes

Cheers mate, the cases are superb!

Gonna look nice when it's finished been looking at the sniper and going green theme

Cannot go wrong with black and green

 

[Aneskimo]

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

* small update *

Got myself the I7 4770k and AOC 144mhz monitor delivered this morning nice reduced prices due to black friday deals!





Not forgetting the haribo, thankyou OCUK!

 

[Aneskimo]

Another Parvum is no bad thing, looking forward to this build

Cheers mate, things are abit slow atm waiting on some fittings that are out of stock and a few other things. On the bright side my motherboard should arrive tommorrow

 

[Aneskimo]

Ok so still waiting in some bits but in the meantime im gunna do a dry fit. Going to flush out the rads, but is that all or does the cpu block etc also need a flush?

IM going to spray the fan rings a green colour seen as corsair don't have them. Is there a particular colour match i can do for my gigabyte motherboard?

Any help appreciated

 

[Aneskimo]

So my attempt at spraying the fans was a shocker may have another go not sure.



But i did manage to mount the motherboard, cpu and cpu block for the moment:

 

[Aneskimo]

Graphics card and psu installed now batteries gone in my camera though so will get some up tomorrow

 

[Aneskimo]

So psu installed, i have a fair bit of room so will install my fan controller here.





You will notice my graphics card has a slight dip on the corner not sure why but i will try and find a solution.





P.S Sorry for the image quality

 

[Aneskimo]

Mmm the xspc compression fittings are holding me back atm, may take a couple of weeks!

 

[Aneskimo]

Yeah another green parvum build, glad to see Looking forwards to updates

Cheers bud, i bought the case a good 3 or so months back so i was watching yours with abit of envy lol while i waited for my money and parts to come in

 

[Aneskimo]

Well i had another attempt at spraying the corsair fan rings and i got a much better result this time.



I will try and get some more updates this weekend hopefully
