I really like Option 4
LOL... nice job... wasnt expecting another design contribution!
Sorry...I didn't mean to intrude on your project in any way. Just thought I would give you another option combining the Parvum type logo and number 2
No worries mate... I like it - the more suggestions the better, although it doesn't make deciding any easier lol!
They are very nice... and even nicer with some Bitspower white fittings
Quick Update: DHL are useless! They sent my EK waterblocks to Austria instead of the UK by mistake so they didnt arrive as expected. Apparently they are now in Brussels! Gonna have to try and claim back my priority 1 day shipping grrr.
Anyway, in the mean time I have been painting!
I couldnt leave the motherboard heat sinks red, in a blue case so I did something about it:
And while the paint was drying, I continued my cable braiding marathon! ATX connecter now done, along with a few others (pump cable, power/reset cables etc):
So this is where I got to this weekend. Not quite as far as I would have liked, but at least its starting to take shape now!
The business side of the case. It only comes with mounts for two SSD's so an extra mounting hole had to be drilled to fit the HDD (no biggie). The SSD is mounted directly behind the HDD.
I'm certainly not looking forward to the cable management - there is not a lot of room in this tiny case for stashing cables!

Still waiting for fittings, as the etailer sent the wrong ones! To their credit though they replied to my ticket in 37 mins, at 7.30 at night with a free post label to send them back! Still hoping they might get here for the weekend...

OK, finally sorted a mix up with fittings and got the right ones here and found some time to tube up the watercooling. Its all leak testing:
Not too sure about the water colour tbh. I used mayhems to match my other parvum rig (which has mayhems red pastel) but kinda under estimated just how bright their blue pastel is! Ive got some dye so darkening it a bit might help.
Only lighting and cable management to do (its a bit of a mess round the back atm!

OK, sorry for the lack up updates, moving house & starting a new job at the same time doesnt work well with PC building! Anyhow... here are final shots
Pretty pleased with it. Amazing what you can squeeze into such a small space. Cabling was fun though:
And just to finish off, a couple of shots with my extended S2.0
