Rads and fans
This time will actually be a mini update
haha. Mainly to show you a few bits from the sponsors/support and what not.
First up is the fans. Phobya have supplied the build with 17 of these little gems. Really liked them when I was first shown them and now the black version comes out.. it was meant to be!
Thanks Pascal.
Time to start making custom length cables. The current plan is for most of the rear and cable management to be visible so it was a must. Plus due to size alone most of the cables wouldn't have even been long enough:
And the part I hate the most. Solder time....
With his new length cable and some Shade 19 MDPC braid:
Next up some of the goodies from XSPC; super stoked on these fittings. We used them first in the ITX build. Love the shape and overall size. Feel nice and chunky and very suitable for this build. Black chrome finish on these:
We move onto the radiators of choice. Decided to use the white rads as the fans are black and will break up the colour enough between the fans and the inside of the case.
These are currently my favorite radiator and aesthetically nothing touches them for me. Really want to use the smaller 120mm versions in an ITX project!
A big thanks goes out to Paul for helping set this up. Really enjoying the current XSPC range. They seem to be really on point with their latest and coming range of products.
To finish for the day.. as I said it is a short update we simply had a little test look at two of the rads inside Magnus:
Until next time

I just really wish there was a 140 version of those fans.

I think I just soiled myself. I NEED THAT CNC MACHINE RIGHT NOW !!!
Btw, is that a phobya (noise-blocker) eloop? I thought they made them in red only.
haha its a dream and our future. when amazing piece of equipment.
they are the noise blocker licensed eloop. Initially they were only red but they now have black. Really nice fans so far!
Thank you! First time for 'showing off' the cable management and rear of the case so got to make it count!
Every time I see this case I become a little moister.
haha oh god ;O
Woohoo, building pr0n!

Ahh i can imagine. People really hate to get on the 140mm stuff. Don't blame you for wanting this either. Could fit a 140mm rad in the front their to be honest.
They really are something else my friend. You do pay a good bit more. Almost twice the price I think but really worth it. For me double the price is worth it for aesthetics alone but the build quality of these really shows.
Thanks for the massive response. It's awesome as only the first project log here

I kinda understand it's a bit of an egg-chicken problem, with fewer cases supporting
140-class radiators and up until not too long ago not a very good radiator market
in that segment.
But nowadays there is a very decent selection of 140 radiators from 140 up to 560,
and quite a few more or less affordable cases support at least a 280 somewhere, or
even a 420 (if not in their stock form then at least with few modifications), so I really
see no valid excuse anymore for fan manufacturers to not hop on that train as well.

Now THAT'S a classy build so far. The kind you can be PROUD of... the kind you bring home to STEP-mom's! love the look of those rads with those fans on them too, this'll be so good when it's finished 8-D

Yeah I hear you. Suppose coming from very SFF builds its a bit of a new world to me. I've only really used 120mm fans in the past however the few NB 140mm fans I used where amazing.
Haha I don't think many step-moms would really even know what this box of goodies does. Though that said... no reason for them to not approve either ;D

Waterblocks & Hardware
Sorry for the delay y'all!
To update you on some things at the warehouse first. We have been busy.. more busy then ever. We have still been trying when possible to custom mod some Parvum cases, these have been ticking over nicely. In between that we have been working on a bunch of stuff for Nvidia. We did a series of cases for an American prebuild company that will be being used at LAN and show events by Nvidia themselves. We have also done a few custom battlebox cases.
Next in line will be a massive restock of the mATX case. We then plan to get the ITX case out to retailers. We are looking at the end of November for these.
Finally we have a new guy at Parvum, Stephen is his name! Please flame away if you are an EVEN rather than a PHEN ;D! You may well see his hands in this project... maybe.
SO TO THE UPDATE!!
Sorry this really is a filler update. Show you all some hardware going in so we can then at least get down to the more fun stuff... custom res', straight tubing.. the usual!
Thought I'd start things off by showing you an ITX rig we did for a close friend. Managed to cut build and fill in one day. *There goes our only day off*...
Really stoked on it. Custom modded the case to fit an extra 120mm rad PSU side so this little guy has 2 x 120mm rads cooling the CPU:
So to MAGNUS! We start with a cheeky 4770k! Thank you Jim and thank you Intel for the support, without it... well, we would be CPUless... haha:
Next what will cool the chip... this build we have gone fully XSPC. This is due to wanting to go down a slightly new route on our builds and having a close friend at XSPC. It's nice to support them, one small company to another:
Next a little teaser of whats to come... HUGE block to mill something nice and custom:
Some of you may have noticed this feature from the render, but almost 500mm of hard line tubing will be inlaid into each side at the front of the case. Will be a great feature with the fluid:
So more hardware show-off... thanks again to Jim over at Kingston. He's gone all out on this build as you will see a little bit later. But first.. some RAM, 32GB in fact!
More XSPC as we block up:
Up next is another lovely item from Asus.. Sorry I did say this was a hardware update.
Thanks Gareth, I know GPU situation was a headache for this build!
Really nice packaging and the stock cooler!! :O, it's a shame we have to remove the thing. Asus have done a really great job with this cooler:
It would be rude not to show you the board with blocks and a cheeky GPU test fit:
That's all for today. Sorry it took a while to get it to you and then it was ultimately just some hardware.. but like I said.. now the hardware is in place we can figure out the fun stuff!
Thanks for reading! Show some love!
