Small, Subtle and Stylish (Parvum Mini ITX build)

I needed a case that would fit stylistically with my recently renovated victorian terraced home and one that the Mrs wouldn't mind the look of! A tough mix of crieria you say. Well step forward the Parvum Guys. I have been emailing them for over a year about there mini itx case they have been developing and I finally found a reason to make the purchase. I love the simple but classy design of the case and I think it looks great in my living room.

Spec:

Case: Parvum Mini ITX case matte white
PSU: Silverstone SFX modular 450w
MOBO: Msi Gaming ITX
CPU: 4790k cooled with a H75 (have OC'd to 4.4ghz but leaving at stock ATM)
GPU: EVGA 780ti Superclocked edition
SSD: Kingston 256gb White edition

Here are some pics

Gpu looks a bit wonky but this is because i haven't got round to making it straight yet

Now that's a great case. Are they selling them now then?

I got it direct from parvum but they said overclockers should have them in stock before xmas.

Ventilation is very very good but all the system noise comes out the top vent so im looking into trying to dampnen the noise without impacting cooling. May add some sound proofing foam inside the case and some mesh over the gpu and some ruber case feet and see if that makes a difference.

I know you want it kinda innocuous, but that Parvum name on the front is screaming out to me to fill the recess of the letters with some colour to lift it off that very clinical look it has.

Funny you should say that most of my friends and family who have visited all seem to think its a safe!! lol!

Wife kindley asked me to remove it from show in the end so It went back iniside the cupoard. Wife was 8 months pregnant at the time so was not going to argue with her!

Case was very cool and I love the size, my only complaint would be lake of dust filters and having fluffy cats this isnt a great combination. ALso because all the vents are open there is a lot of sound leakage. This may have been amplified by psu as it has a reputation of being loud.

P.s Super late response! Forgot I did a project log of this case
