It is going to be fascinating to see how this turns out.

This is going to be an interesting build but seeing the designs it's also going to look amazing. 
Just wondering how you would go about getting the acrylic sheets manufactured and fitting them to allow coolant to pass through and to fit G1/4 fittings.

Holy crap i got lost half way reading through that update.
Would 100% buy a bottom for my upcoming Parvum case if it was already made to the case specs. Looks amazing.

Thanks for all your comments and subs, plenty more updates to come!
Even for an air cooled build it would be a lot slicker, hopefully securing all four of the DVI screws on each card it should brace them quite nicely.
All of the vents will be left open and the case has been designed without a window. Even with dust filters there is always cleaning to be done, may as well just make it easy to keep clean rather than cluttering the aesthetic with filters and windows that will just get dirty
Maaaaaaybe.
They are just rubber cord, generally 2mm OD cut to length and glued together. The machining is the clever and difficult part. Getting the tolerances right on the grooves.
They will be drawn and cut in just the same way as the case aside the use of much thicker acrylic allowing channels and grooves to be cut into the surface. Adding fittings is surprisingly easy just using the appropriate size holes they can then be tapped out with 1/4" BSP taps to accept fittings. You can get a good insight to the process by taking a look at the recent updates on PARVUM MATE.
It would be great to offer such a pass through plate for standard Parvums but there are so many different configurations of hardware and watercooling components it would be impossible to produce a general component that was useful for everyone. Particularly with the growing trend to use rigid tubing. It's a great touch to reserve for the custom projects too

That base is insanely complex, insanely expensive (probably) but insanely cool....!
Are you in fact insane ?
On a serious note, where do you get or make those rather complex o-ring seals from? Are you making them yourself?

But, but i want it

You are clearly drunk with power at this point. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

The plans for that reservoir are insane! Subbed

Nice design, i like the res, look forward to seeing this finished.

For the love of God man, three days and no updates?!!!!
Thanks for all the comments and subs guys, Keplar FTW!
I have ALL OF THE POWER!
Even though I know I am definitely going to be the one tapping all of the holes by hand, I still add MOAR SCREWS!
Thank you!
Yep... yep... yep... Your right, blame PARVUM SHEEDY for that! I need to get the rest of the parts list straightened out, that's top priority for the coming week.

Epic build and design, looking forward to progress.

I have a technical question, because I was thinking about making a Parvum case mod myself.
How did you approach them and are they actually willing to make custom parts?
What sort of documentation you need to give them to get those?
Thanks
ps. It is an awesome build and in my favorite colours too

I'd come and sweep the floors at Parvum workshop just to get a sneek peek
Access will only be granted to fangirls who bring Maccy D's

I just turned up one day and told them I wanted it, guess it helps that I work for Parvum
I see a lot of requests for custom parts and cases come through, quite a lot do get made especially themed cases and adjustments to accommodate specific hardware like radiators or motherboards. As they become more complex and start including techniques that would be used in Parvum's personal projects (like this one) then things become a lot more difficult. And to make them happen realistically we would either need to deal with someone who is extremely competent at measuring and drawing. Or alternatively someone who was willing to send over all of the hardware, but that would be very time consuming for us so it would have to come at a time when we weren't too busy. We are happy to make custom parts though (within the limitations of our equipment) it all depends on if enough information can be exchanged to make something that will realistically work. Making a case to fit X, Y and Z with a layout drawing from paint and some pictures that embrace the theme is fine but that doesn't quite work for dimension critical watercooling parts. Email [email protected] when your at the stage to start something/get quotes or PM JR23/parvumsystems if you want to casually discuss any ideas.
