Need's some work but got my side window today and no longer have a pointless side fan cutout allowing dust in. Trying to decide if i want blue or white LEDs and if i want to get a Sound Blaster Z to tidy it up a bit.
Also anyone know a good way to support a GPU with so much weight it bends? I'm currently using a vitamin C jar I got from Costco, it's perfect height but it's a giant jar of chewable vitamin C in my case.

I'm just throwing this out there:
Put the looped end on the base of the case and just trim until it's the right length...? You could cover it in black electrical tape or what ever you wanted to get the right affect?
My new Bitfenix Prodigy build.
The build is a complete new build pretty much after having the Corsait 600T SE White , which while being a very nice case visually and to build in but just too big for what I needed, so did some trade ins changes and bargain hunting and got this little package.
The build is as my sig but will list fully.
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) (Elsewhere online on a sale over christmas £170)
ASRock Z77E-ITX Intel Z77 (Overclockers I believe around christmas £120)
Kingston HyperX Blu 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C10 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (Overclockers christmas sale £36)
Powercolor Radeon HD 7970 V3 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (Elsewhere online christmas sale £270)
Corsair Hydro H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (Overclockers a few months back for £75 ish I think)
Corsair Professional Series AX750 High Performance 750W Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply (Overclockers few months back for £135)
Corsair SP120 Quiet Series High Pressure Low Noise - Dual Pack (Not new had for a while but again from Overclockers I believe at the time around £18)
Corsair AF140 Quiet Series Low Noise High Airflow - Single Pack X 2 (Overclockers £15 each)
BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Arctic White (Overclockers £65)
BitFenix Recon Internet-Connected Fan Controller (White) (Wish it was from overclockers but my lack of patience meant I actually had to purchase overseas from what I believe to be part of the same group as Overclockers) (£40ish)
Samsung 250GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic (Elsewhere online christmas deal £105)
Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM
Most of the above was purchased from overclockers but some came from elsewhere online due to special sales over the christmas period, that said I picked up some great bargains from Overclockers over christmas too for this build.
Forgot to add havent got around to screen caps of my temperatures yet, but using Core Temp for the cpu it sits idle at around 35 and the most I have seen it hit was 62 that was under full load in Prime95 (CPU is NOT overclocked yet)
GPU temperate seems very stable also under full load in Heaven benchmark max temperature was 68 with the default settings left on in 1920x1080.
Fan noise is quieter than my 600T but not silent (which is what i was hoping for).
Depending on feedback and advice I may purchase the foam silencing kit that Overclockers sell for the Prodigy.
Cabling isnt final yet, want to let the machine run for a couple of weeks and be sure everythings fine before i start with mopre serious cable management.

epic case mate.
Whats the fan spaces like?
im thinking of buying one and compleatly watercooling the cpu and gpu with it.. is there room above the gpu for a gpu waterblocks barb placements?
Thanks, I am very happy for the moment. Theres mount holes for 120/140 on the back 2x 120 on the roof and 2x120 on the front or 1x 140 or I believe even 1x200.
As far as spacing for blocks and barbs on the gpu with the h100 and a set of push fans on theres still about 20mm clearance altho the gpu is not directly under the fans but slightly off to the side.

Hi mate,
How is the Fan Controller held in place without the ODD tray?

Wow that case looks really smart, are the little strips interchangeability by any chance? Might looks good with some red ones if you can change them.

Just need to do something about the drives fascias.

Ive replaced the remaining stock 5.25 bezels with lian li mesh ones. Added a fan behind theese to increase air intake. Other two are taken up with a blu ray drive and a zalman fan controller. Though im hoping to replace the zalman with a bitfenix recon touch controller.

I wasn't sure they fitted the XL, but I have since been told (this morning) that they will work on the XL also.
Hmmm £7.97 for a pair.
