Yo, thanks for looking at this project!
You have all heard of the word Homunculus?
If not ...
So I replaced the human sound bit with "Com" - hence Comunculus!
This is based on a Parvum X2.0. It was semi inspired by @Orbitalwash as I'd originally replied to his thread regarding experiences with Parvum. This will be my 4th Parvum case, all the others had problems and to be honest, I wasn't impressed with Parvum but decided to give them a final go. I started talking to @Mads1 on another forum, and he got my white and red X2.0 to me pretty damn quickly.
Since it's arrived, I've since ordered some custom back panels which Mads is sorting out, my experience with Parvum via Mads has been a great one, so has changed my view of the company.
Anyway, onto the build!
Spec in my sig, basically 7700K, TitanXP, all water cooled.
Forgive the rubbish pics, iPhone is pretty good, I'm not ...
So the case, part build, taking shape:
Eagle eyed among may notice the wires, I stripped down the Asus antenna as I wanted it all in the case, so dismantled it, was pretty easy:
Although the standard power button is fine, I wanted something a bit snazzier, it was a bit more difficult to wire as the Parvum switch has 4 pins, this has 6 and came with no diagram!
Because the build is small, it can only realistically take a 120mm rad and an 80mm rad, so that's what I got for it, this gives a total of 200mm rad space, not sure it'll be enough but I wanted a quick glance visual of the coolant temps, so decided to add one of these:
I'll add more pics, but I wanted to get things up and running, so quickly put it all together:
Whilst the Alpahcool gear was good, the tubing and quick disconnects were NOT - Terrible in fact.
The quick disconnects were too long, too cheap (Plastic) and the inner diameter was so small, surely acting as a bottle neck.
I decided to remove them.
I then decided I wanted to add small USB hub, so that various dongles could be installed and forgot about, so I got this:
And made it into this:
Also added a fan hub:
Then decided to add some fan filters, in white
Front:
PSU Filter:
MY Corsair SFF 600 failed, so that's now gone away to be replaced, I decided to get some cablemod cables:
So today I decided to remove the quick disconnects and and add a valve to the fill port, still not sure on the direction of tubing at the moment, and think I may move a few things around.
I'll update more when my PSU comes back and I've had a chance to review the tubing!
