Very nice, would have liked to see some LED fans in the front and back! Good choice of motherboard though!

Going to get some 120mm Led AF Series shortly

I agree it does need some led fans.

But i have a big suprise coming in terms of lighting

Waiting for a new mid panel i want a black one now :') White isn't working for my ideas

Also a new 240mm fan base panel. (Ocuk will be stocking these in the next two weeks hopefully iv been told by Justin)
What more can you do to your car u know its just a sink hole. U saw mine and thats the point im stopping at i refuse to sink much more into it

Good thinking on the tights, keep us updated on his effective they are.

Heres a photo with tights. Much more effective in my eyes

Looks very nice dude!

Some new parts ordered, New midwall in black, new pci plate in black. Yet to order the bottom plate but my card temps don't worry me too much yet.

May swap my red cables out for white and also thread my cables together too still as im not keen on combs now

May also swap my lighting but undecided yet

Nice job that very neat

Heres some new photos with a new midwall and pci bracket in black, Full RGB lighting is in the process also

I have a cpu waterloop planned soon with a glass res (using old white midwall to test out mounting ideas and the likes) i may have some ideas posted up soon but the idea was to mount it something like this

Cutting a big rectangle out and mounting it into the acrylic wall and silicoln sealing it into place and some brackets

Ill do a proper sketchup drawing when im more decided on which res etc

Full res photos here

Nice mate much love for the Parvum. One thing though mate, those Noctua fans on the back spoil it mate.

Will agree colour wise they do, airflow wise there good. They may have a spray job yet

So project Icarus continues on, Next up is a full custom braid! Im doing this myself when my items rock up hopefully tuesday.

100ft of red and black camo paracord
2m of 5mm heatshrink at 3:1 so im hoping it will grab enough
atx pin tool
heatgun
cable combs figure 8 ones

Had a recent change over to a NZXT Grid+ for fan controller and my full rgb led lighting is also installed on my front panel.

Photos to follow in coming days when i begin braiding
