BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case

Monkeyspaz5000 · 20 Jul 2012 at 21:13

Mine as all in and sorted.

Only problem is my antec high current 750w psu is bigger than 160mm!!!

It sticks out the rear by about an inch. Ha!! And the fact that it's non modular doesn't help.

Will upload pics once windows is all re-installed.

Yeah bro i had that deal bt i got it inim getting a modular one in a week to sort that issue out lol and a cpu cooler as im using stock for now!

Show me your headers by the way so i can do mine properly... XD

I had the problem with the side panel lights not lighting up. Just rotate the cable 180 degrees and plug it onto the same two pins and you should be good.

Would take a pic, but there's next to no room to see anything!! Lol

Try I can only get one working

Monkeyspaz5000 · 21 Jul 2012 at 11:46

Take off the cable with the light that's working. Put the cable that has the non working light on that connector. See if the light lights up and it's not a faulty LED.

few questions, the joints circled in red, are they screws/bolts or rivets?
how thick is the metal circled in blue, i was thinking of making a hole in there for better cable routing when i get my prodigy. do you think it would weaken the structure too much so it wont support the mobo?

credit to redalert for his pic i shamelessly stole and modified ;p

Can't answer 100% until home... But!!

Rivets - and you should be fine cutting there as I have seen someone else do it.

As for cable management - you should be fine with a modular PSU.

Mine isn't and it has 4x 6+2 pin PCI cables amongst others. I can still get it all in - although my PSU is about 180mm long so it hangs out the rear.

No problems for stealing the pic. The red circles are rivets. The blue bit is a couple of mm thick, you could easily dremmel that out and would not harm the structure of it at all.

oh that is so sweet, that's it im set on the prodigy for my next rig

Monkeyspaz5000 · 21 Jul 2012 at 20:05

My effort until I get a modular PSU!!

I've not plugged in the front audio connector simply because I can't be bothered to remove the rear antec kuhler again!

tamzzy · 22 Jul 2012 at 00:20

i saw this and loled:

and then i saw this and was like damn, thats neat...

Allnamestaken · 22 Jul 2012 at 00:34

Hahaha I did a better job with my none modular with just as many cables i didnt know you could use a antec on a graphic card like that?

Wow, you must really like the Kuhler 620

I hate them :rolleyes:

wouldn't touch one with a barge pole... I have to have my computer a long way away from where I sit for that very reason

(see sig)

Monkeyspaz5000 · 22 Jul 2012 at 08:22

I'll be ordering a modular PSU today so I can sort it out a bit! Lol.

I'm also going proper water cooling which will tidy the inside up a lot!

Great case, just not much room inside for a stupidly large PSU with too many cables!

Yeah you can use them on a lot of cards. Drops the temp by 20 deg C!

Allnamestaken · 23 Jul 2012 at 03:47

i have a N570GTX Twin frozer III,

It idles around 35C and highest load has been 60C with about 99% gpu load.

Other then being super quiet you think theres a point me getting one for the gpu?

Sgt_Pepper · 23 Jul 2012 at 18:13

well, seeing as I couldn't decide what to do about my Motherboard being blue, and my GFX Card being red. I came up with a plan for my wiring.

Just waiting on my crimpers now then i can start work on my short wires

2mm braid so I don't need to bother with the heatshrink.

I'll see how it looks, and if I don't like it I have enough wire to just go Blue and White

looks like really good cable management even with a non modular psu and very tidy inside, great for air flow, nice work
