Same here, I'm very interested in getting hold of a parvum s1.0. I have emailed the info@ address on your site a couple of times but not had a response.

I would be very interested in getting hold of the extended 8 pack version you just posted above, but similar to Jimbo, having the 360 in the roof as it looks like the one on the floor might obscure the bottom PCI-E slot? I have a sound card to fit in!

Should have replied to everyone now, really busy here just getting everything together for the case restock.

Love the Monsoon kit, plus the build is looking just jaw dropping. Awesome stuff guys

It's a great little kit and thank you.

This just makes me want to put my poor effort in a dark cupboard and weep with shame

Awesome build guys!

aha don't be silly! This has been a labor of love and time. The longest build we have done by far. Happy with it, all things take time, each build we do we see improvements and learn new techniques!

Very nice! I must ask, how do you manage to get the tubing to straighten up like that? Looks awesome.

Ah it's easier than you think... It's not floppy tubing! Hard acrylic tube

colinmcr said:
You want questions, I have one.

Can you come wire my build up?

This is incredible, have to agree with you the white LED's look awesome.

Haha if you bring me the build I would probably do it

Thanks, really made a world of difference. Was stoked to see it light up!

This is one seriously amazing build. Subbed!!!

I'm stunned by the quality, scale and detail to this, amazing isnt a big enough word to describe it!

Waiting to get my hands on the S2, it would be great to have some pics

RadioactiveGimp · 18 Jan 2014 at 20:18

Wow...that's very impressive. Awesome doesn't come close

Staffy50 · 18 Jan 2014 at 21:52

Looking good.

MrAdamski · 18 Jan 2014 at 21:54

That looks gorgeous, can't wait to see the finished build

WalderX · 19 Jan 2014 at 15:13

Holy watercooling Batman! Those GPU's look epic!

Thanks for the sub. Means a lot. Can't wait to show this one off at events throughout the year.

I will see if I can sneak a picture or two here. If I am honest it is just a revision. Demand is very high for the 1.0 still but we wanted to add a few essential changes. USB 3.0 will be as standard in the front. We have changed the panels to create a built in case feet system. This is pretty damn useful when a lot of people our moving their rigs. We pulled the height of the case up by about 15mm in size, again super helpful to squeeze that extra thickness and have more freedom with radiators. Finally we changed the clear window acrylic to a hard coated acrylic. This is super scratch resistant and we are very happy with the gains.

Thank you very much all! Please, any questions etc just ask.

Haha indeed! Had a 4th GPU but no support from Nvidia and not good enough results in real application to bother using hacked bios

that sounds like some dam cool updates, I'm in a weird time right now designing my next rig while I build up funds. These are all good news to me as I'm decided on a parvum, but my mind is full of modifications and adjustments that my wallet won't like

Love the additions! Front USB has to be a must IMO

Are prices for the S2 going be the same as the S1?

Custom raid card waterblock

Sponsors/Support:

Another update all!

As mentioned previously we more than had to do something about the raid card. Not only for aesthetics but to help with the cooling. The passive cooling is pretty weak and not helped by the lack of any system fans near by.

Now this is what I love about modding; never throw anything away! I've been saving this little EK bridge block for about 6-7 years. I didn't even buy it back then to use it just saw it going cheap second hand. I since rescued it when I was visiting my parents over Christmas. Now we put it to use! So perfect for the job:

Next we cut a small piece of 5mm clear and tapped it for the fittings:

We then cut the 5mm black acrylic lid. Used a 1mm deep V bit to make a nice detaling. Also trying to keep within the XSPC style here:

Copper block installed with M3 bolts; as you can see O ring doing its job:

Passive cooler removed and fresh thermal compound added:

Clear acrylic and block installed to the raid card:

Grabbed the old springs from the passive heat sink to help reduce risk of over tightening:

With the top installed; wow we are super happy at this point:

For what was a relatively quick to make solution... over the moon. It took a lot of time to get the measurements bang on but the rest went together super easy:

Installed in the case with 2 x LEDs for a test fit:

Certainly fits the XSPC monster now and look forward to not having any temperature issues. *In theory at least...*

Thanks for stopping by... another update very soon!

You have just put XSPC out of buisness

Nah, awesome mod man, very nice indeed!

GiraffePencils · 22 Jan 2014 at 17:24

You are ***ing with me!
DAAAM thats some good work on the raid card, DAM good.
You make it look so easy

Great to see it develop. Looking good

cypto · 22 Jan 2014 at 17:59

Fantastic job on that raid card, fits the theme of the build just perfectly.

Loving the progress on this along with the nice big pictures. Any shots of the other side of the raid card? did you enclose the entire thing or is there still PCB on the other side?

rjk · 22 Jan 2014 at 18:03

lsi raid card, i was drooling.

that block, omg.

Custom watercooling blocks..

Is there anything you CAN'T do?

Dedwoods42 · 23 Jan 2014 at 13:38

Just incredible. Keeps getting better and better! The block on the RAID card is stunning.

Haha we are f&&king with everyone!!! world watercooling domination! Something like that

Thanks for the kind words, to be honest the actual cutting and assembly of the raid card was pretty easy, the measurements and drawing was the hard part.

Thanks cypto! You would be correct in assuming the underside is not covered. We did consider adding a 15mm black block to the bottom to house it entirely but in this instance it was never going to be visible and made it a quick fix for the cables.

Both Shaun and I are actually pretty weak swimmers. This had nothing to do with knowing each other; we just both suck at it. Otherwise we have most things covered.
