Will this fit a prodigy?

[squarehead94]

So I have a prodigy, with an asus p8z77i deluxe.
Id like to go h100i, dual rad im guessing top mounted is best (recommendations here please) that means i lose my optical drive ( is there anyway of having a h100i in a prodigy with a dvd drive?
currently got a gtx 480 which is simply massive, but im looking to get a 7850 instead, due to it being smaller, greener and better suited to my needs (monitor performs best with AMD cards - 120hz samsung 3d) can i fit a h100i in the case preferably with an optical drive in there?
cheers!

I don't think it will fit. There's about 5cm between the bottom of the 5.25" drive bay and the mounding holes so unless you mount the radiator externally or use a slim DVD drive which will just look bad aesthetically it won't fit. Another option would be to remove the HDD cage and mount it at the front but I think your best option would be to use a 120mm rad all in one loop and mount it at the back or the top.

yeah, ive trawled about and everyone ditches their optical drives to have a h100 in. a worthy sacrifice i guess, just a bit gutted i purchased a blu ray drive from a mate! haha.
thanks for this, ill be ditching the drive, just plug it in when i need it. which will be rare.
