BitFenix Prodigy ITX build

UPDATE 2.1

just following on from the little image above, i have taken some detailed images and started my braiding marathon!

I bought a 3.5 inch fan controller so i can mount it inside the case in one of the hdd cages :)

So on to the GPU, im very happy with my choice of purchase, i have had sapphires for three builds now and i have to say this one looks the biz! the only thing i wish it had was a vapor chamber like my 7970, as all the cold air is sucked through the top and blown out the front, kinda like the way the bitfenix case is designed, side vent rear exhaust.

As pointed out by cereal3 the psu box is big but it was mostly packaging :) but nothing can take away my love of these psu's, they are such high quality, braided black cables, fully modular, many extension cables, gold 80+ and they look the shiz :)

As we have covered the psu might as well do the braiding :)

As you will see the yellow and black was a good idea but for the yellow to be better i needed to get denser weave as you can still see a little black behind, it still has the desired effect :)

I love the fact the stock cooler would be so naff, why bother giving us K buyers one?

I love this SSD it oozes style, lets hope it lives up to my M4's, i only bought this as it was on special offer and i read good reviews :)

I love the fact this SSD comes with 5" to 3.5" tray, sata 3 cable and software cd! my M4's came with nothing!!

I am chomping at the bit to get my case now, all that is left to arrive is the mobo, case and ODD. I've taken the Thursday and Friday off work so i can work on the pc!

I just hope it all fits and looks as good as i envisage

Me too, i keep trying to find videos and reviews on the net..... the more i see less patient i become lol
 
i spoke to them a while ago and they said i was one of the earliest to pre order, you are right thou they may have sold the first batch and that is when they are getting the second.

my heart sank when i saw that :( im so looking forward to this build, iv never felt this way about a case before lol :D
 
UPDATE 3 :(

Very disappointed...... i spoke to ocuk and the date has been put back to the 13th so i won’t possibly see the case till the following Monday :(

I understand it’s out of their hands, but i was soooo looking forward to this weekend :(
Good things come to those who wait ;)

They are how ever sending out the mobo and ODD which means i can test my system :)

This is with everything attached!

img3526z.jpg


going by what beejjacobs said about the placement of the socket in relation to the PCI-e i would say asrock either made a boo boo or they only intend for their users to use the stock coolers or closed loops like the H80?

compare the specs of the viper to the space here!

I dont really know what to think but i am glad i got the H80 (still in box). The system is fully operational with all software loaded, im going to give it till the case arrives till i oc the ram and cpu.
 
UPDATE 3.2

"overclock me ffs, i can be so much faster!!"

so i did, lol, i will post the memtest results once iv done 12hrs min but 4 passes and no errors so far (fingers crossed)
