The Bitfenix Prodigy has finally started trickling into the US, and after traveling across the country, mine will finally be getting here today!
My last machine was a monster. E-ATX motherboard, two GTX 580s, and five waterblocks, packaged inside a Mountain Mods U2-UFO case. This time around, I wanted to build the smallest system possible that would still rival, if not surpass, the specs of the last build, and the Prodigy looks like it made that job a lot easier
Parts List:
Water cooling Parts:
I've done the measurements, and all this stuff SHOULD fit
I've also had all the parts for several weeks, so I've had plenty of time to test everything to make sure it works before I start taking heatsinks off.
Going to go pick the case up from UPS after work, pictures will follow!
