How to assemble Parvums NEW ITX case

Hello there!!

 

well with the imminent release of the Parvum ITX case, and with them not releasing a video tutorial yet, i thought id spend a hour or two doing my own for you lovely lot!

A few things to note....

 

1) im nothing to do with Parvum, so don't blame them if this is wrong somehow!

2) i hadnt noticed id taken my camera off auto focus after the second shot, so some pics are not the best!

3) im sure there are many other ways to make the parvum, but this is the easiest i find!

 

Firstly, Parvum. These guys have done amazingly well for themselves in the last few years, going from strength to strength with each case they make.

The first case they released to the general public (the parvum s.1.0)  was a great success, i don't have the figures of how many were sold, but i know forums were saturated with build logs! from the very beginning i wanted one

but just couldn't afford, now i can ive had one! Using the feedback they received from their fan base, Parvum then created the Parvum s.2.0. Again, many have been seen on forums all around the world, another great success.

 

Now, we have the Parvum ITX. This will be released sometime between now and September with a target of around mid august, the price should be around £99

 

So what do you get with your money? buckets full of awesome, thats what!

 

When you order, you will receive this, quite a plain, thin cardboard box.

Open it up and you will find this warning!

Under a load of the protective material you will start to reveal some goodies!

after taking off the mountains of pretective wrap, you will end up with all of this.

i don't recommend stacking all the acrylic on top of each other like i have, but i only had a small table!

 

The screws:

Here is what should be included:

 

a letter

bottom panel

top panel

front panel 1

front panel 2

back panel 1

back panel 2

PCI bracket

a sheet of clear acrylic (please note, that this has a protective film on which is usually pink and scratched up, make sure you take this off! i know a few people haven't noticed and have complained!)

a windowed panel

side panel

motherboard tray

SSD bracket

loads of screws (you will get a few different types, were mainly going to be using the long and short smaller thread ones)

loads of square blocks 

allen keys

a anti tamper switch and cable.

USB 3 Hub/

 

Now, lets start building.

 

First you will want to find the bottom panel, this looks like so, you will notice your going to need 4 blocks, 4 SHORT screws and the allen key.

 

AGRAHEil.jpg

 

You want to put them so the 4 blocks are in the corners, and the screws go into the countersunk holes in the panel so that everything is flush like so.

 

4Kcd6bvl.jpg

 

These 4 blocks are going to essentially be the feet of the case.

Next were going to need 2 more blocks and 2 LONG screws. 

 

FBhcoPjl.jpg

 

This time the blocks are going to be on the opposite side of the others, and the screws WILL NOT be in countersunk holes, this is intended!

Next were going to want back panel 1

 

i0PmpN2l.jpg

 

 back panel 2

 

lbkgSfcl.jpg

 

 and the metal pci bracket.

 

ucAqsq3l.jpg

 

Put the metal PCI bracket into the grooves that hold it

 

TQbc7Nzl.jpg

 

then place the back panel 2 over the top of it.

Next you will need the floor panel and 3 LONG screws.

 

nYwIWJpl.jpg

 

Make sure you have the floor so that the 4 blocks in the corners are touching the work bench and that the 2 other blocks are on top!

then, whilst holding the 2 back panels together so that the metal bracket cant fall, screw in the 3 long screws into the bottom 3 holes, these should go straight into the blocks already there.

Next your going to want the motherboard tray 1 block, 1 LONG screw and 3 short screws.

 

KpuGa5Nl.jpg

 

Take the block and one SHORT screw and fix it to the motherboard tray on the opposite side of the standoffs, next to the cut out for the cables like so.

 

SZCDTrGl.jpg

 

then put this panel into the case like so, using the LONG screw for the back panel and the remaining 2 screws for the bottom 2 blocks.

 

JFgZM76l.jpg

 

Next we are going to do the front of the case. were going to need the front panel 1, 2 SHORT screws and 1 block.

 

rICjLQEl.jpg

 

put the screw into the only countersunk hole on this bit of acrylic, and attach the block to the back like so. 

 

CiJu05wl.jpg

 

you will now be able to attach this to the motherboard tray, *NOTE* for the moment, there should only be 1 screw actually holding the front panel in place!!

 

psuhqDrl.jpg

 

Now get front panel 2, 4 LONG screws and 2 more blocks

 

4n1rQTIl.jpg

 

The 4 screws go into the holes on the corner of the case, through both panels and into the 2 blocks in the bottom of the case, you will need to attach the other 2 a the top

 

next the SSD holding panel, 1 block and 4 SHORT screws *note i have now turned the case around!*

 

8mqHKYIl.jpg

 

this fits UNDER the 3 blocks that are already there, like so:

 

GUo9vQQl.jpg

 

Now is a good time to attach the USB hub and also the front switch

 

5aUFkzMl.jpg

 

To do this you will need to use 2 short screws for the usb hub. to attach the anti vandle switch, just unscrew the ring, pop the switch through the hole then tighten the ring back on.

 

JTz4VLAl.jpg

 

ZjQMmjBl.jpg

 

now take this panel, and 4 SHORT screws

 

cO7BKa3l.jpg

 

attach the panel like so *note* if you struggle getting the piece of acrylic to fit, just loosen the screws on the front panel slightly!

 

keDUYWKl.jpg

 

Now, were going to do the window, you will need these 2 sheets, 1 block and 5 LONG screws

 

Sh9S1eUl.jpg

 

Put the sheets on top of each other like so

 

fit the block into the top corner like this *note ive turned the case around again*

 

zaaAba3l.jpg

 

then fit the panel like this, again, if its a tight fit, just loosen the screws a bit

 

no0Wm7El.jpg

 

Now, the top panel and 6 screws

 

qfIwYGtl.jpg

 

Just place this on the top, lining the holes up and making sure that the corner with the bit cut out goes in the position shown, above the rear Parvum logo, then just screw it down.

Thats it!!! your finished!

Idk man, It's a nice color scheme but the case itself looks like something someone cut out of hard plastic in their garage
