Hey guys and welcome to my new build log, PARVUM FORMULA!
 
This is a special build I am doing for a mate of mine and I'm very excited to build in a Parvum case.

The colour scheme of the build will be black, red, and grey. The case is reverse ATX with a nice windows on top and one in the back to show the SSD. I will also be doing some custom vinyl work on the case.
 
Here are the renders provided by the boys over at Parvum:
 

 

 

 

 
I do currently have the case though I am waiting for another panel before I can showcase it.
 
In the mean time here are some shots from Parvum while they were making the case :)
 

 

 

 

 
Hope you guys will enjoy this build log!
 
 
Cheers,

Another excellent mod. Looking forward to final pics with hardware installed.

 
Hey guys,
 
Here are some more pics of the case and I also received the motherboard for the build.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Have to do something about the upside down ROG logo with this reverse ATX layout.
 

 
However a big surprise was waiting underneath and seems like I can't just flip the existing badge as that will show this hole underneath.
 

 
So lucky for this case badge that came with the motherboard.
 

 
All cleaned up, looking nice!
 

 
Thanks for checking it out!
 
Just to let you guys know that this build might be moving along pretty slowly as it all depends on my mate's budget in getting the rest of the components.
 
Cheers,

I have always been a big fan of parvum builds!

 
Hey guys,
 
Here's a quick look at the memory going into the system. 16GB of G.Skill Trident X 2400Mhz.
 
Those stickers will probably come off to make the memory fit in with the build a little bit more, it is a good looking kit though.
 

 

 

 

 

 
Love this view from the top window!
 

 

 

 
 
 
Vinyl is on the way for this build so should get the vinyl work done pretty soon.
 
Cheers,

Looks great. Like that memory (color) you're using!

Thanks, yea it was certainly a good match between the components

movieman
looking good!!, definitely like the red/black. I am looking to build another system and I really like this case!

Thanks man! Yea Parvums are awesome and they can make any custom design you wish and cut anything out of acrylic, hit them up for any custom work :)

Looking good Alex and waiting on final pictures of the build

 
Hey guys,
 
I have a quick new update on this project, like I said at the start, this one might take a while so it's going slowly but steady :D
 
The boys over at Parvum Systems were kind enough to provide these custom made fan grills that will surely be a nice addition to the build and they also match the rest of the fan mounting holes on the case.
 
Remember guys, Parvum can make and cut anything out of acrylic and pretty sure other materials too so if you ever need anything custom done, give them a buzz and they might be able to help you out!
 
Check out the fan grills!
 

 

 

 

 

 
Two are for the 240 rads and one for the two 80mm fans on the back of the case.
 
Thanks for checking it out!
 
If you have seen the latest Mod of the Month round over on Bit-Tech, you might have noticed my other ongoing project TOXIC CHROME has been nominated. Please head here to check it out and show some love :D
 
Cheers,
 
Alex

Love the color of the fan grills!

Thanks mate :D

love the case work it is out of this world. would love to see that with a x99 classified board love the look of the board and can see how u could blind it into the theme . great

 
Thanks a lot mate :D. Yea I love the look of the EVGA X99 mATX board too though this build depends on my mates budget as I am building it for him and he's getting all the parts. Also with just gaming that he will do on this build, it won't be worth doing an x99 build in his case. I'm hoping to do an X99 build pretty soon though :D Hopefully after I finish the two builds I'm working on now :)

Yes I think you matched up the colors very well.

love the case work

Thanks guys :D

 
Hey guys,
 
More updates coming now that I have the new red vinyl in!
 
This is the design I did for the rads and I will also do something similar on the sides of the memory :)
 

 

 

 

 

 
Also made sure the EK badge is facing the right way on how the rads are going to be placed inside the case, can't have a reverse or upside down badge anywhere :D
 

 

 
Rads are now tapped to an M4 thread as well
 

 
Hope you guys like the update!
 
Cheers,
 
Alex
 

Very nice work, love the vinyl graphics. Which brand is that? I have not had much luck with what I had tried to use on some drive cases. Got a link?
 
Gets my vote!
Looking forward to more
