Parvum Systems Project Magnus

Acrylic front tubing and Monsoon bending kit

Sponsors/Support:

A small update:

So well known forum modder/builder/negative/argumentative/point-well-made friend B-NEG came to check out the Parvum set up. He actually came to brief us on a reservoir we will be custom milling for him but while he was down came with his new Monsoon kit. Here is the photo of the full kit:

Really nice little kit. Obviously as stated already here bending is not something we personally like as a look but for the front of the case we needed to use a few concealed bends with acrylic. For anyone who is already good at bending tubing or just wants to start I'd say go for it! Its expensive for the full kit but it's something you'll use on all builds. Just please don't go crazy with the bends! ;D

A few of my favorite pieces:

The little cutting jig is really cool.

So apply heat:

And bend! B-NEG = lots of bending. Another nice little touch with these is you can screw or clamp them down. Useful if you want to make more advanced jigs:

Test fitting the tube:

Tubing in place:

The black panel will be re-cut to improve this. We knew this was going to be pretty likely but now we can bring it down much lower and file away a 45° section. This should pretty much hide all of the bend.

Finally it wouldn't be a B-NEG helping hand without his partner in crime:

UNTIL NEXT TIME. THANK YOU!
 
Lighting looks amazing!

It's 2014! We are still here and with one of my favorite bits! Lighting starts!

First we start with yet another break down. This time was to fit the final motherboard tray and fit the single LEDs:

Next we add the Phobya LEDs, 2 pin setup, so nice and simple:

Honestly so stoked on how the white LEDs look in the XSPC blocks:

Chucked a LED strip in the bottom just to see how the res's look:

Until next time. Questions please?!
 
Custom raid card waterblock

Sponsors/Support:
ALLSPONSORS1.png

Another update all!

As mentioned previously we more than had to do something about the raid card. Not only for aesthetics but to help with the cooling. The passive cooling is pretty weak and not helped by the lack of any system fans near by.

Now this is what I love about modding; never throw anything away! I've been saving this little EK bridge block for about 6-7 years. I didn't even buy it back then to use it just saw it going cheap second hand. I since rescued it when I was visiting my parents over Christmas. Now we put it to use! So perfect for the job:

327.jpg


Next we cut a small piece of 5mm clear and tapped it for the fittings:

328.jpg


We then cut the 5mm black acrylic lid. Used a 1mm deep V bit to make a nice detaling. Also trying to keep within the XSPC style here:

329.jpg


Copper block installed with M3 bolts; as you can see O ring doing its job:

330.jpg

331.jpg


Passive cooler removed and fresh thermal compound added:

332.jpg


Clear acrylic and block installed to the raid card:

333.jpg


Grabbed the old springs from the passive heat sink to help reduce risk of over tightening:

334.jpg


With the top installed; wow we are super happy at this point:

335.jpg


For what was a relatively quick to make solution... over the moon. It took a lot of time to get the measurements bang on but the rest went together super easy:

335.jpg


Installed in the case with 2 x LEDs for a test fit:

338.jpg

336.jpg

Certainly fits the XSPC monster now and look forward to not having any temperature issues. *In theory at least...*

Thanks for stopping by... another update very soon!
 
Just another update

Sponsors/Support:

Welcome back. Nice to see you all.

First up we would like to say Thank you once again to tiny tom logan, he of course mate the raid card mod possible.... by supplying said raid card. Thanks mate.

We would also like to thank Asus for the support along the way. They did a great little write up on the rog.asus website that managed to pull in a MASSIVE 31,797 views. This is huge for us and considering the builds not finished.. very impressive. Thanks for the continued support Asus UK and Richard.


To the update!

We start by cutting the 'final' top panel:

339.jpg


That took some SERIOUS measuring skills that's for sure. Couldn't have done it without our trusty digital caliper. To any modder looking for a new tool... it's the one of course:

340.jpg

341.jpg


Now we have to get to work on the pump/res connections. Sorry to anyone who is big on symmetry. Lines pretty hectic here also:

342.jpg

343.jpg

344.jpg

345.jpg

346.jpg


Installed an additional D5 in the second layer of the top panel... more accurate measuring require of course to allow it connect directly to the fitting below:

347.jpg


Next... despite having the wonderful b neg help us out and bend the tubes for the front of the case we just could not get it to fit in with the build, even trying to make the front panels cover as much of the bend as possible it still didn't look neat enough.

So more measuring... more replacement panels... so many replacement panels...!

348.jpg


Pretty accurate fit:

349.jpg

350.jpg

351.jpg


Cheeky shot with 1 of the 2 full pipes installed:

352.jpg


MUCH happier for sure. Both will be filled with white coolant. Really cant wait for this.



Until next time... what are you all up to this week?
 
More Cable Management

Sponsors/Support:
ALLSPONSORS1.png

Back once aaaaaaaaaaaaagain!

This time we our tying up some lose ends and working on the cable management in the rear. Horrified if I'm honest at how much wire needs to go in this build.

We start with laying the beast down. Not actually as easy as it sounds:

353.jpg


First problem to address:

Due to the thickness of the res' in the bottom you cannot screw the bottom of the pass through fittings on.. this is a bit of on issue because a few of the angles connected to the acrylic tubing are maybe out by 0.something of a mm or a degree:

354.jpg


To fix this we came up with a solution that worked out EVEN better than expected. Starting with some extenders:

355.jpg


Another pass/fill port:

356.jpg


With these combined you can actually use the ring/nut on the fitting to tighten and pull everything into place:

357.jpg


All done here.... expensive fitting bill...!

358.jpg

359.jpg

360.jpg


Next up we start to install the cables for the rig. Must say Pexon did a great job on the PSU for us. We gave him the exact lengths needed for a LOT of cables. Results super happy. Wanted to keep to one tone, keep it super neutral:

361.jpg

362.jpg

363.jpg

364.jpg


On to hell... the rear! A LOT of cables to deal with:

360.jpg


So before we do this we consulted the Parvum Guardian:

366.jpg


He said if we don't sort it quick time he will hit us with his hammer.. >.<,

MORE mess:

372.jpg

373.jpg


To combat this we need to cut another pane. Drawing first:

367.jpg


Next we grab one of the old panels from Magnus. Love to reuse every bit of acrylic we can. Then of course recycle whats left after that:

368.jpg

369.jpg

370.jpg


Little beauty:

371.jpg


Slotting our cable management beast in:

374.jpg


Super stoked on this:

375.jpg


Finally for this update in goes the slot loading blue-ray:

376.jpg



That's all guys and girls. Was great, getting very close now. Loads of progress.

Until next time... What did you have/will have for dinner tonight?
