Sounds like that's all the lighting you've had for the last few days with the problem dude?!
Great pumpkin carving skills,
I'm disappointed the pumpkin isn't made out of acrylic though if I'm honest

Acrylic tubing time
So I just want to say sorry for any neglect at the thread here. I think the last batch of comments before the pumpkin I didn't actually reply to. I really like to keep up with everyone on a quote reply basis where possible and I love this forum so sorry for that. The lack of activeness will be explained in the update I'm about to post. Mainly NO DAMN POWER!!!
Haha you can carve your own pumpkin! I was expecting to see some more company kins! Build is looking great by the way. Just a shame it's not in a Parvum haha
Haha literally! Worst thing is we did have single phase, so we could use computers just no machinery. Very annoying when your already behind a schedule! Maybe next year we make an acrylic one then!
Really excited to see the coolant flow when we fill this. I'll be sure to make a video don't worry! Thanks for the kind words.
Haha if we could have ran the CNC I think we actually would have tried it!
Thanks <3

More delays.. nothing unusual here. This time we lost three-phase power for 6 days. Really messing up work and any chance of project updates.
But that said... now we have something to show you. Exciting tubing at that!
First we want to quickly show you something we are pretty happy with. It was done for a friend (TTL Himself) so won't be used in this build but a nice little piece. Spec was from a pencil drawing. Single piece construction using heat to bend and designed to hold 4 SSDs:
mmmmmm SSD p0rn....!
Onto MAGNUS!
First up we remove the mosfet block from the board:
Replacing with an awesome little XSPC block:
One thing that did lose out on was due to the reverse(upsidedown) layout.. the little badge cannot be used. Not really a big deal as the build is very monotone but still wanted to do a little something....
Removed the orginal red detailing from the Asus heatsinc:
ANd in place on the XSPC waterblock:
Next up we made a small jig from a bunch of acrylic layers. It's purpose was to add the extra 30mm of space that will be taken up in the bottom of the case so I could start to plan the loop. As with all of our builds we are forever stuck in a 'catch-22'; one thing is always stopping us do the next so this was the only way to move forward:
Putting the jig to use:
Then use the jig to mark the bottom panel. Again all will because much clearer in future updates:
And more:
Next up... well... THANK YOU ASUS! We have more GPUs!
Sitting pretty with stock coolers for now:
Unfortunatly for now we are having problems sorting suitable waterblocks. However knowing they will be XSPC in style the way to move forward was to grab one of Shaun's 780's already with XSPC block:
So for anyone who hasn't worked with acrylic.. we cut ours just using a basic coping saw in a vice. Simply paired with any fittings suitable for this tubing. Bitspower and EK do these. Also spotted some other fitting systems being used but don't like the looks of these. We also hate any bending of hard line tubing. After all.. floppy tubing does the bends. If you are trying to make a super tight bend without kinking it... that's great... BUT we think there is always a better option. Thats our advise anyway. Acrylic U bends are something that make the eyes bleed.
MOAR TUBES:
That is it for today friends and fans
With this progress it really means we can get going on the build so expect more frequent updates ASAP! NOOB stop moaning now! ;D

Carving in the pumpkin obviously had some cheating involved, he used the epic machinery he has got to do it.

Pretty awesome isn't it. Would love to perhaps sell them as an extra for future Parvum cases. SSDs are only pushing mechanical drives out more and more so its a great little item.
stunning guys really great work
Well fancy seeing you here
Your name is very fitting to your next build eh..100%! We have a very awesome photographer of a friend who will be assisting!
You and me both haha.
This.
Pressure is on or what!!!
Thanks mate. Really exciting once some of the loop goes in.
