** BitFenix Prodigy M - The Evolution of a Legend **

Doesn't look like they got a shipment in.

Was waiting to see if they came in for a build for a friend.

Looking at this picture I would say no. Even if it did fir there would be no clearance for air.
 
Perhaps a 2.5 Slot card ? :) Thats the H100i is the rad thickness any different?

If not were else can i mount the hard drives. I have an SSD and 2x HDD's to install :/ ( Can make it 1x HDD perhaps


Just watched video noticed the side cage can mount 2x HDD and the panel can mount the SSD

God damnit much want now

There's some real design niggles about this case that are really annoying. Use a PSU that's longer than 160mm, and you limit the length of the graphics card you can use and ideally, would have liked to be able to fit a 240mm rad in the bottom and the top (I wouldn't mind losing those top slots on the mobo

240 rad top and bottom is possible :)

Ahh - I've not seen them mention that it's possible or seen on in the bottom before. Intriguing!

Still, issue of limited PSU length is really annoying - but only because I bought a new PSU that's 180MM in length and have a 7990 on preorder so need the length there to fit that graphics card and PSU! haha
 
Whats the deal with the PSU? How long can a GFX card be with a short PSU and how long can it be with a long PSU... Also how long makes a PSU "long"?

Q: Will the XYZ Power Supply or ZYX Video Card fit inside the Prodigy M?
Video cards at 9.5inches or less will have 200mm of power supply clearance
Video cards at 11 inches or less will have 160mm of power supply clearance
Video cards at over 11 inches will have 150mm of power supply clearance.

Perfect - thanks! Did I make a newb mistake and not see an FAQ somewhere?
 
It seems that way via the spec and i ordered on the same basis. It seems to fit fine! Put my H100 rad in both top and bottom and it fits. It won't fit the top with a SLI/Xfire setup though! and it may not fit with a DirectCU tri slot cooler! My Phantom 2.5 slot fits fine but theres very limited room for airflow

I aint too sure if it depends what type of radiator you use though i will say :) Id say slimline rads only due to the limitations of a 2.5 card in push only (if you went push/pull i couldn't see a normal 2 slot card working tbh)

Mounting holes no fit 240 bottom on H100 the sides of the rad seem too thick so that seems a bummer.. Wonder if it could be modded in. Yeah ill get some on finish :) Waiting on my i5 to arrive still it should be here tomorrow :D


Ill be honest on my thoughts so far.. Original prodigy was better :/ Cooling in this case is a disaster

No front intake i don't like that at all! This stupid HDD bar/rack is so silly .. iv mounted my 2 hdd's on it and put my ssd in the side panel but i was thinking about my idea to have a window.. This seems silly.

EDIT: I dno what to do now.. im fed up just tried to put my psu in and my graphics card and psu collide and i cant move it into the other lane due to my h100.

Anyone else got one yet and using a long card what psu's fit well without the Pcie and the molex/sata power leads on the modular part being in the way?
