I hope you don't mind me creating this thread, it would seem we have a thread for most other cases, but nothing for the very unique Parvum.

I will not limit this to the S1 or S2 cases, it's open to both and I will start with my build:

So, who else can share theirs?

Thats a very slick build you've assembled there snips.

I'm still debating a Parvum case but I have my concerns about noise and being able to mount 2 ssd's and 1 hd with suitable airflow.

Cheers guys!

It is a very nice easy to work on case. Noise isnt really an issue, but when running fans on full whack, you will get some noise due to the design of the vents.

Check my build log and see what you think about the space. You can mount 2 SSDs but since my SATA cables are too short, I simply used velcro to stick them to the back of the motherboard tray.

As for HDDs, there is space for 2 and with the installation of an 80mm fans in the rear compartment, you can effectively remove the heat.
 
^^ That is stunning - nice work!

Regarding the design, have you thought about or made any adjustments to the base of the case to allow a 120mm fan to draw in air? Specifically, I was thinking about when using reference cards like the R9 290, you need good airflow and this would really help!

Nice thought mate, no reason why we couldn't add this. In the next couple of weeks OCUK will be listing single Parvum panels in a range of colours. So people who want to mod can get a spare and or mix and match new colours. Specifically new frosted colour mid walls. We also plan to introduce more unique colours of acrylic that we cannot offer as a standard S2.0

Perhaps as they have a load of S2.0 stock already we can offer the '120mm base panel'. Even in fact possibly 240mm cooling support down there.

Idea noted!

Thanks :D

Adding the option for a 240 RAD would be great for a custom loop, but if using xfire, there may be space issues - I've not had much of a chance to experiment or measure up, but welcome anyone willing to try ;)
 
I forgot about this thread :eek:

Well I was speaking to Parvum about getting a base panel to support 2x120mm fans and they've send me one as a beta :D Cheers gents its worked a treat.

Idle temps are down by 10c and while the load temps are still 85-89c, the fan speed is 25% less meaning my ears don't hurt.

I've ordered some new fans to match - will be 6 Alpenfohn Wingboost 2 PWMs in total very soon :D

Smashed out this little ITX gem for Pexon. It's NOT the ITX enthusiast but a scratch build. Pexon, HackJoe and a few others discussed at some LAN events. 240mm & 120mm; full size PSU support and the epic motherboard layout :)

Working prototype and great fun!

Reminds me of vanilla coke <3

Stunning!!

Did you get my comments on the base panel of the S2?

that's close ;)

your normal case looks fantastic but a bit too small, this one is far more suitable for me.

can your cube case be increased in scale without too much bother?

I think the perception of small is down to the individual as I don't feel its too small at all. Personally I think its perfect. ITX would have been better for me but:

1) I couldn't find a nice ITX case and Parvum didnt have one at the time
2) Didnt want to shell out bucket loads of cash if I decided to go crossfire

The Micro with a good watercooling setup is perfect and you cannot go wrong :)

We've actually had it a lot more than you'd expect. Including complaints about it being a pink panel. I think the mistake is made because the film is stuck down SUPER well to the 3mm.

We did originally remove it but then of course you are far more susceptible to scratching in transit.

haha - you should start charging people to answer that question - will fund your next project :D

Hey parvum owners!

Quick question, those with the 80mm fans at the rear, do they make much difference? And what are the noise like?

No one with any input?

Sorry, just seen this!

I'm using these and they're really quiet. My 120mm fans are far louder. These particular fans also shift a hell of a lot of air.

I've also got an 80mm Akasa behind the HDD which is linked to the other 2 80mm fans via PWM Y splitter, just as quiet.
