haha woops ;D

Thanks for the kind words. I imersa, of Parvum handle the photos. I shoot with a canon 7d mark ii or a 60d depending on day/situation. Also a number of lenses depending. Some standard, some red ring pro and some macro. We always use soft box white lights when possible.

You guys rock - this thing is stunning. Almost sad to see it coming to a close.
I have a few CNC lathes to play with, but they're duuuulll compared to the millers and variaxis kit :-( Only useful for custom bits for my Airsoft kit, really!
Keep it up, chaps!

Going to need a new chair because my jaw dropped and destroyed it! Amazingly clean and precise build love this. You sir deserve a box of Belgium chocolates

Sorry for the lack of an update. We have been busy working like mad and spent the weekend at LSUCS LAN 44. For more info check out the website here:
http://lan.lsucs.org.uk/

We attended this event to showcase our cases but also to help raise funds for the special effect charity:
http://www.specialeffect.org.uk/

We auctioned a Parvum ITX with all money going to the charity. It has been a great little event. A couple of photos of the LAN:

For all who want to see Magnus, we will be updating the thread start of the coming week!

Hope you all had good weekends?

 

[Conchubair]

Yup, good plays on league, then went a farming on planetside..
Hope next weeks isnt the final update

 

[MathiasBE]

Wow that ITX looks awesome! Want one!

 

[Agost]

Haha you are correct sir!

You know... latin at school

Really nice project

Rear of case complete!

Sponsors/Support:

HI ALL!

First up then some cables to connect for the raid card. 8 sata cables in fact! MOARRR cables

Connecting the raid card water block to the top GPU block:

Next rather large task was to start connecting all the crazy pass through's in the bottom of the case:

Now for something we have been planning since the start. SSD heaven. In the form of 8 as you may have already seen Hyper X SSDs. These things are amazing. Physically/aesthetically the best SSDs I've ever seen and used and from what I gather the performance will match any other drives out there. Black with orange drives? Not here thanks!

A cheeky shot of the icydock! This will be really useful and fills that spot great:

Last for the update we managed to get the back of the case finished. 95% complete at least. All cables and wiring for the build finished. All fans routed to the required fan controllers, all other cables filtered up the frosted cable cover. Nice LED strip installed behind the cables to make some nice shadows. Again to match the front 4 more Hyper X SSDs. This is a massive focal point for the build. We really wanted to show these drives off:

That's all for today. Honestly though this update was huge for the build. Not TONS of eye candy but just completing the lower loop and ALL the wiring was a HUGE task.

Until next time.... do you like the back of the case and what are you all watching on TV?

 

[Conchubair]

So many SSDs..
As always it looks sick. And as for TV shows? Aint got un! nor am I interested in them...

 

[Wraith]

Love the exposed SSDs in the side panel pure class and as for TV I'm mid season 2 of The Walking Dead (again).

 

[Dedwoods42]

LOVE those exposed SSDs. Really cracking aesthetic. TV? Re-watching Black Mirror for me...

 

[AverageNinja]

I'm madly in love with that case, it's so perfect!
Loving the fact that it's motherboard is reversed, and I really like the way you've mounted the SSDs. Kudos to you my friend, it's a fine piece of craftsmanship
