hey all
I decided after some deliberation that i wanted to build a small rig again.
So i found the Bitfenix Prodigy!
Looking at it i found it plainly obvious that it would be very easy to fit water cooling in without any modding, so let the build log begin!
Everyone likes a parts list so here we go!
Things i will keep from previous build:
i7 2600k
Samsung green 8GB
Asus DirectCU2 7970 (with EK block)
XFX Pro1000W Platinum PSU <- Will be too long by far for this case!
Scyth Fan controller
New Stuff:
Bitfenix Prodigy Black
ASRock Z77E-ITX Motherboard <- Will allow me to upgrade cpu in future if required
new 3/8 fittings and blue tube
Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 240mm Dual Radiator : Full Copper
Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 120mm Single Radiator : Full Copper
Bitfenix 230 x 200 x 30mm Spectre PRO Black With White LED Case Fan
Bitfenix 120 x 120 x 25mm Spectre Black with Blue LED Case Fan x 3
The total Expenditure inc barbs was £204 Inc P&P for the Wcing and case.
And i managed to snag the motherboard for £100 from Amazon EU.
I feel i will be able to sell my FT02, Magicool 180x3 and Asrock P67 extreme 6 for a tidy sum as well, so the expenditure will be much lower.
The case and Wcing are due to arrive next week, And the Motherboard on 5th feb, I wont be starting to build till well after that date as i need to send my 7970 back to OCUK as its DVI-D port displays green flashing pixels.. truth be told i was supposed to do that months ago but due to needing a working pc for uni i haven't had the down time to wait weeks for it to come back.
Will Update when case arrives, will do a rad fitment!
peace and love
