BitFenix Prodigy Questions

Diagro · 21 Jan 2013 at 21:28

Hey

im looking at the BitFenix Prodigy

What i need to know is this:
1. How tall can a GPU be before it would interfere with a rad and fans in the top?
2. How many 2.5" HDD's can it hold (without the HDD bay thing in the frontmiddle)
3. how strong are the handle things.

I simply want to fit this inside one:

ITX mobo (to use a i7 2600k with)
Asus DIRECTCUII 7970 Watercooled <-- very tall
a 120.2 Rad with 2x fans
XFX Pro1000W psu
2x 1TB 2.5"
1x 128GB SSD
Drive bay fan controller

So.. will it all fit with a D5 pump res in tow?

Take a look at this matey: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18427234

May need to get SSD's instead or find an inoovative place for your mech HDD's.

He said just the front middle bay, which is removable, he still has the bottom bay to put his mech drives.

The handles are super strong, the only way you will brake them is if you go all out to brake them on purpose, aka get a hammer and repeatedly wack it very hard or drop it down the stairs ;p

The GPU is to the side of the case, it won't interfere with any rad's.

Doesn't the side panel have a place for 2.5" HDD's?

It has a place for two SSD's.
It would depend if the 2.5'' mount the same way as SSD's.

hmm.
need to see if a 120.2 will be powerful enough to cool a 7970 and a i7 2600k

You need at least a 360 or 240 + 120 for that.

Yea i think your right.

i was looking at a Thin 120.2 and a Thin 200mm Rad as the front has fan mount for a 200mm fan.

But will the rad at the top fit with a 200 at the front :/ then would my gpu fit aswell.

The only way i see of finding this out, is to buy it and the parts and see, But i dont fancy spending the cash and finding it wont work lol
