Micro Hulk- My 1st build!

Aneskimo · 14 Dec 2013 at 17:16

I managed to flush the rads out and mount them and the fans into the case and grabbed a couple of shots, also making an appearance is MICRO HULK

So this is pretty much it for the moment i cannot do much more until my cables, fittings and backplate have arrived.

Good news!

The magnificent rjkoneill has managed to get the fittings back into stock so they along with my ram and some other bits are on the way. I shall update when stuff is delivered and i have some time to get it all fitted.

Too much green! hehe nice work so far, interested to see how this ends up

Tbh i was worried about having too much green, that's why i opted to have the plain black kingston ram.

Well things have been a bit slow atm with finishing work and christmas almost here but i have a small update my fittings turned up along with ram, a wireless card and i also had a sammy evo turn up:

I am just waiting on my cables the great Labido is doing and the backplate from coldzero i do know they both have a lot of work to do so the build will probably be finished in the new year now.

Have a good christmas everyone

Hi sorry for the lack of activity i have Just a small update atm, cables should be done in a week or so. I will try and get a picture of them, and the build should be leak tested and completed in the next week or two as for the backplate that may take a little bit longer though.

this is looking great, we need moar images !

Ooookay

So starting off with the cables, Davido Labido did a great job on the sleeving. We talked about having them shortened down but in the end left them the original length seen as it gives me flexibility to maybe go for a bigger case in the future. Also place the Akasa fan controller round here

Then round the front all tubed up and filled with no leaks RESULT!

Looks great man, nice job. The sleeving is an excellent combo of colours.

Cheers bud dave pulled a blinder with them, i was looking on facebook at the black and yellow ones i think were for you very nice combo's there :cool:

Yeah he's put up with a lot of my questions and changes of plan, he's very patient.

Yep I've chosen two designs and posted the pics on my log, but will see which one to go with when I see them installed.

Quick question what colour shade paint did you use for those fan rings?

Just had a look its just fluorescent green with a couple of thin layers of primer then a couple of layers of laquer

Last lot of pics!

So that's my build folks i think it turned out pretty good for my 1st especially the watercooling, there is maybe 1 or 2 things i may of done differently but overall i'm chuffed with it. Special thanks to Davido Labido for the help and advice he gave us top bloke.

Things that may/will change in the future are the Keyboard and mouse probably and When the 7970 is not gunna cut it that aswell but its holding its own in a lot of things atm.

Cheers for reading

That is really nice mate, I'm looking forward to getting my Parvum now

You should have room to crossfire the 7970 too. Is that something you are looking to add?

You really cannot fault the cases at all, you shall enjoy building yours there so simple to work with the case just simply unscrews in seconds and they are great guys plus they can mod your case (which i may do)

As for crossfire never really thought of it but yeah i suppose i could

Great job mate, tidy work with the cables in the back there

Thanks bud, congrats on building such a good case it was a pleasure to work with

Aneskimo · 22 Jan 2014 at 07:34

Ahh wondered what pics you got bottom one looks awesome better than my crappy camera skills. Cheers for the assistance with the water i learnt quite a few things, and definitely got the itch to keep building just going to enjoy this for now though hehe

that gpu looks bent in the middle mate.

is it ok?

It had a slight dip but the whole build is apart already due to a faulty motherboard, selling gpu and grabbing a 780

Nice of the concern mate

very neat build, all that comes to mind is the green goblin

jimbaw said:
Dammit why do I want a small build now?!
Looks really neat well done

Cheers for the comments lads, small form builds are fun the parvum case was not much of a challenge to work with because you can take off panels to help aid you when installing/swapping out components

Aneskimo · 18 Feb 2014 at 23:12

That looks stunning, like a toxic waste green

Aneskimo · 24 Feb 2014 at 15:37

So after having it up and running after a few weeks in which it was amaze-balls i have had some boot issues and such RMA'd the motherboard after doing the usual tests and with that the rig had to be stripped out!
So i have taken the chance to look at installing some sort of dust filters and also im looking at some case mods. Spec wise i have also gotten rid of the 7970 and replaced it with:

Not much of an update due to the motherboard being away but i have been told the 780 will give a nice boost in performance and i have still to overclock the chip yet!
