Parvum Systems Project Magnus

We are waiting on LSI at this stage. Had some firmware problems. Until we hear back from them the build is on hold.

We are flying to Germany for CeBit tonight to land back Thursday. If anyone wants to say hello we will be at the event Tuesday and Wednesday.

Sucks, but you do have quite the amount of drives for it to handle :P

Safe journey,
Very interested in the fans you guys come up with :D
 
I'll chime in on the general consensus that you must put this case into production. I am only interested in full ATX (and bigger) cases. I would buy one for sure!
 
And we are booting into windows! Some tests to do then ill get an update together. Thanks for being patient:

Looking good

:D damn we love da raid!

Hnnng!

For when you absolutely, positively have to be in the server before anybody else...

Ahah indeed! Especially considering league of legends load time has a % load time race before you enter game. I can safely say I shan't be beaten on Magnus any time soon.

So about this raid card your now going to buy? ;D

Oh also 27 degrees on the raid chip. Gotta love making a water block for this hot little bugger.

Holy sequential read speed batman! :O

And I thought my 900MB/s read was good!

It's pretty tasty huh! However I'm guessing you are running a pair of SSDs on an on board controller in raid 0? Thats still a super fast set up and more stable I'm sure. Also probably about £900 odd difference in price haha.

hnnnnnnng

:p

Yep you guess right! Just using the Intel chip on my mobo. Works great though and definitely noticeably faster than using the drives independently.
 
as this is a thread for the parvum i wonder if someone can shed some light on my build, as ive just started to build a parvum s2.0 but i cant find any info how to connect the vandal switch that comes with it so what wires go on what connector i know they go on the power led and that but dont want to muck it up if im wrong, so where does the red&black and yellow&blue connect to.
 
Red and black connect to the middle two prongs on the switch, yellow and blue to the outer two. The other end connects to the PW switch and PW LED respectively. Check your motherboard manual to see which pins they correspond to on your board.

thanks i worked it out in the end :D
 
just want to say the parvum s2.0 is a great case, for my first build its been a good learning curve, in the process of making up extensions with mdpc-x braid, couldnt believe how much the tools cost to do it, will be doing a project log soon, as waiting for some parts to arrive in next couple of weeks. :)
 
The tools are always the hidden cost of things :/

Are we getting any pictures? maybe with some nice coolant ;)

or even it on :o

+1 for this, as insane as those sequentials are it's the pictures of the white coolant running down those tubes at the front that does it for me.

So guys over at Parvum, don't keep a man waiting ;) .
 
Loop filled teaser!

Hi all. Very happy at the Parvum HQ.

The beast that is Magnus is alive. All hardware working, huge raid speeds and almost fully bled of air! In fact all cutting is now 99% complete. We have a few tiny touches like a SLI bridge cover to make but otherwise its ready!

This comes with good timing, we wanted a good month clear to arrange final photos at the studio and shoot an awesome video. This month being until Insomnia i51 at the Ricoh Arena! Magnus will be on the Asus stall during the day running a Gsync Demo. But also with us in the gaming hall in the evening. Seats: JH-A16 - JH-A20 so please come check it out if you are there!

So onto the update. Before we show any coolant I'd like to introduce what I believe is the final sponsor on the build and with no better way to finish; than with Western Digital.

From the start if you have been following you will know there is a tidy Icydock just chilling in the rear of the system. This of course would never be complete with out some storage drives.

WD stepped up here big time to supply us with 3 x 2TB Black drives for Magnus. I must say they are just mad quality and fit the build undoubtedly!

So perhaps onto what you want to see.... giving you SOME, but not all. We are heading to the photo studio to shoot final photos before doing an on location final video of the system.

We just wanted to at least show you some awesome sneaky preview shots of the now its filled. The whole build was really based around the two tone, we wanted to have the black and white alternate and at times even pass through each other.

To finish the look we opted for colour changing RGB LEDs, but set to white light, the light they create is not exactly pure white but a mixture of colour that in this case, the frosted acrylic will disperse to give an almost pearlescent look. Much happier with this than solid white as it really gives the bottom chamber more depth.

I wont say any more and let you see some eye candy!
