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.

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).

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.

Yep i do agree on the red pcb but I did this with a strict budget to get a black pcb on a card of that spec I would be looking at a long wait or maybe 50-60 pounds more which wouldve meant no fan controller and stock fans inside.
 
I've always been a mid/full tower kind of guy, but its builds like this that make me really want to have an mITX rig :) looks awesome man, i love it
 
thank you so much for sharing. i wasn't sure if the recon and the h100i can be used together in the prodigy. but from the picture it is clear that they can! i just ordered my recon. i'll make it work because it's so cool.
 
Thanks for the positive comments all, sadly i split and sold this rig and am now back in the market for another rig! :P
 
nice case! i really love prodigy's!
I got one myself now but how did you get that short ODD bay?
Can you buy it somewhere?
 
ohh ok :p then i'm just curious how he made it to stay there :D
I'm also planning on mounting a fancontroller but i wouldn't know how without the ODD cage
 
That is absolutely beautiful!
I love the Bitfenix fan controller on the front aswell! Really suits the case!
Also that 7790 fits perfect in there!

Great build!
