It looks Really Cool but I thought Paining Voids the Warranty.

Good point - But . . . Whats a Warranty ??? (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) . . . surgically inserting an XSPC Ion Res into the Deepcool 240 AIO . . . drilling holes in the Parvum S2.5 case . . . de-lidding the i7 7700K . . . by-pass surgery on the enermax Everest Fan temp sensors . . . replacing GTX backplate with custom piece . . . shipping those one-of-a-kind hand made Glass Dragon tubes from California to the outlands of Denmark . . . acquiring a Gigabyte GA-Z270MX-Gaming 5 mATX motherboard via Amazon International via US via UK finally to Denmark - because Gigabyte EU decided not to be in the mATX business in Europe (not distributed in EU) . . . figure that out (???) - and BTW ... that voids the warranty (?????) So, basically . . . I'm good with a little paint !!!!! (I'm also a sarcastic SOB !!! - so, hope I don't offend) it's all in Good FUN - AND an attempt at being a little creative i.e. . . . this is what it takes - finally gettin' that motherboard to Denmark [so - me and Maradona got a little sum-in in comm-in !!!]

@thunder-93 @bcavnaugh @XrayMan @trthskr4 @rjohnson11 Hey Guys . . . thanks for the Good words This has been a slow but FUN build - just my second - but I have learned so much on this journey . . . and have had HUGE scope creep, as well !!! None of this could have been possible without tremendous help from my New Friends on-line, as well as, my Other Friends in the US and UK (at times it has been quite frustrating sourcing items to Denmark - but that has been half the challenge !!!) Hope you enjoy some of the detail (and the nonsense !!!) I hope to share, nearly as much as I have pulling it all together. Cheers, __SV

That's a very cool project Spike, seems you have learned quite a bit through your builds. I think that is part of the fun. Sorry to hear about availability issues, that makes it tough. Those glass tubes are very unique, give quite a nice look. In picture 11 [last pic] what are the yellow number call outs for? I'm a bit slow, it maybe obvious.... Keep us posted on progress. +1

@notfordman
. . . thanks no worries ... my bad - should give a little more info . . .
the Parvum S2.5 case I ordered has 12 Acrylic panels
You have essentially unlimited options for a custom case - but I chose a base model to start with
For each panel you can choose from several different colours- and then add your own designs
So I started with this 12 panel sample and sent along my specifications for production
Also makes for an easy case to work with

Ah yeah . . .
The case is shipped - flat packed - and you assemble by joining all the panels with special assembly cubes . . . So, completely modular

Most in-depth modding almost always voids a warranty

@quadlatte . . . yeah - I'm lovin' me some Parvum !!! But ... for some REAL inspiration check out some of the Parvum projects from these Guys . . . JamesWalt1 JR23 niklot1981 snef Mads1 lever2stacks . . . just to name a few BTW - I think that if I were back in the States ... I'd probably be more conscience of Warranty requirements . . . it's just - making things according to the way you want takes soooo much more effort when the resources are so much more difficult to locate - then, otherwise, you have to get quite clever on how to acquire the items you need - which, then takes you beyond the fringes of warranty boundaries to begin with
. . . so if you start out - 'out of warranty' just because of your location - then you got less to lose from being creative

. . . one last word (well unlikely 'last') on the Parvum Case [BTW- this project is fully sponsored by ME - cha-ching $$$] The ONE important trait you must possess, should you be intrigued by a custom Parvum case is - PATIENCE(the Quality and Pride of ownership - always makes your patience worth while) There is the option to get one of their 'retail' models - if timing is one of your priorities . . . My recommendation [note to self for NEXT build ... definitely another Parvum) is - WAIT until you have your Case in hand before acquiring your major components (especially if we have another year like 2017 !!!) - if you want to insure building with current generation components. (but - then ... that's always the issue - isn't it ? !!!)
Cheers
