Abirli Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/audi-forum-banner_zpsdvlxfhba.png Hello and welcome back to another one of my build logs! After months of planning and gathering ideas, I reached out to Parvum Systems and brought them an idea of a customized Audi themed case. Big Thanks to G.Skill, Rocket Science, V1 Tech,UPC and EKWB for taking a chance and sponsoring me! With out them this build would not be as awesome as it is going to be! When i think Audi i instantly think LED head lights and Big Grills, so i knew i wanted to incorporate those into the case. With some hand sketches i asked Parvum to take the lead and what they ultimately came up with is nothing short than amazing! :thumb: Although some parts might not seem as high end as they should for a build like this, the client doesn't game, doesn't render or anything computer extensive. The Client does own a Audi/ Volkswagen service shop and wanted a promotional piece to display. Plus i got a lot of them for a sweet deal! :) Parts: Motherboard : TBD Ram: G.skill Sniper 8gb GPU: PNY 670 Cpu: Intel 4790k Psu: Corsair rm 750 Hdd: TBD Case: Custom Themed Audi Parvum s2.0 Watercooling: Rad: EK XT 240mm Rad: thinking of adding another 120 or 140* GPU: Ek 670 clear block CPU: EK Supremacy Fittings: RocketScience Silver fittings Pipe: nickel plated copper Pump- EK DDC w/140 mm res Fans: EK VARDAR series Sleeving and Supplies: Ultimate Personal Computers Aegis Acrylic Work: V1Tech http://www.overclock.net/t/1536847/sponsored-parvum-rs4-a-custom-audi-themed-build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This first one is good for a laugh! http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/image2_zpse4a46b74.jpg so you can see where my mind was heading.. this wasn't so much custom in that the only thing added was an Audi-esq grill to the front Hand drawn idea 2: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/image1_zpsb8816cf9.jpg now we're getting somewhere! I took this design to Parvum and asked if they could help me take it one step further. after a few emails back and forth they sent me some renderings http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/audi28_zps93c1359a.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/audi27_zpsd9b56037.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/audi26_zps855ddc5b.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/untitled23_zps54f23ec7.jpg Amazing!! We did make one final tweak before they went to cut the case.. we decided to close the gap and enlarge as well as lower the headlights., but you all will just have to wait and see the final version! thanks!!

Lets get to it shall we? One thing i've recently started taking up as a hobby is photography. i normally shoot sleeve photos with natural light but have went with a more professional set up for my build logs now. Im using a Canon t3i with stock 18-55mm lens, Savage Thunder Grey backdrop paper, and for most of these photos, a single 4 bulb soft box. i do have a 60" photo tent i may use, but this paper is soo cool. i digress..

Every once in a while, a popular local trading website has good pc deal, so i monitor it almost daily to see what comes around. I picked up a Corsair RM 750 for this build for $55 its in pretty good shape, came with all the wires, box and even the zip ties lol http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4177_zps978632e2.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4431_zpsjrqaqsja.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4435_zpsjqdzljbm.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4181_zps969fefcf.jpg And the same site had a used 4790 for....wait for it.....$75 bucks :devil: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4183_zps91321a4e.jpg Scored this Pny 670 w/ ek waterblock http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4445_zpsmhvymv0y.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4447_zpshznqjbxi.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4448_zpsf9j8sntz.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4449_zpscdqwj3af.jpg my friends at V1 Tech are going to help me take care of this ugly pcb tho http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4451_zps4hbi4jps.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to take a minute and say thank you to Rocket Science for supporting me on this project, and being one of my first sponsors. I came across Rocket Science while looking for copper bending tutorials and was impressed by their guides on the topic. then i noticed they had a shop that sells fittings specificlly for standard 1/2" OD pipe. once i saw that i knew i needed to use them for this project. The team at Rocket Science is very friendly and eager to answer all of my bending questions, of which i will have many more :p Its always a nice day when stuff arrives http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4564_zpsrbgwpwo3.jpg tear it open to reveal the fittings box http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4565_zpswc77ksoh.jpg the packaging is really cool. I've always love product packaging, and the extra presentation it offers http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4569_zpsjlcisdyo.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4570_zpsmkx4v8zg.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4586_zpsk1e7wwbk.jpg some cool shots http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4572_zpsnhmfuynb.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4573_zpsy2hgw9at.jpg the lone fitting http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4574_zpsh9nsjbuh.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4581_zpsvy8paaxj.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4578_zpspnixn1cm.jpg fitting towers http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4584_zpszvgwlpex.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4587_zpsrzv22hrg.jpg Thanks Again To Rocket Science!

For the actual bending of the pipe i went with the Ridgid 408 1/2" bender the bender is pretty large so theres some good leverage and the quality feels really nice. very solid http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4619_zps1wxn9pjp.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4623_zpscy5t2rkh.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4621_zps52fb5j8o.jpg oooh artsy http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4622_zps7b8b9ehx.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4624_zps44whfhyd.jpg being that this build is inspired by Audi, I wanted to bring that sense of luxury to some accents in the build. To do this i'm going to leather VINYL wrap some bits and pieces. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4608_zpsg9z5xyce.jpg the texture and apparent grain on this vinyl is really cool http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4610_zpssh6dkvum.jpg i couldnt wait and decided to wrap the LED power block http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4612_zpsdrkkiwlr.jpg grain stays even with the stretch http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_4617_zpstgstuyri.jpg I think i've got everything other than the Ram now, that should be arriving later today! once its here i've got to shoot everything and then build! stay tuned :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcticwind Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I always did like the look and style of the Audis', and this is looking really good.Keep the photos coming, I can't wait to see more.I see you are using vinyl from "Metro Restyling" also... the HDD looks good, I may have to copy your ideas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to thank all of my sponsors for supporting me on this build, with out them this build wouldnt have been feasible. I also want to thank all of you for stopping in, asking questions, giving constructive criticism and all of you're kind words through out this build. it's very humbling that you all like the work i do :thumb: The following shots are mainly focusing on the interior chambers, as soon as the led arrives i will take the exterior photos. please enjoy http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5183_zpspsv6kjt0.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5184_zpsdxjzsnqn.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5186_zpsqimzxhxo.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5179_zpsuoqqkrx2.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5180_zpspp5jec2c.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5173_zpssmly3pym.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5189_zpsio8zjtkv.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5190_zpsxjz6nsqz.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5159_zpsnw9ppvx6.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5203_zpsbiii1tkc.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5197_zps9wzrkj6m.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5204_zpsjp5cljks.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5168_zpssvbwihgi.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5211_zpsqm9kqnds.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5212_zps8irgyz0e.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k622/UltimatePersonalComputers/parvum%20s20/IMG_5214_zpspxuorfz9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
