That's a sexy little rig!

 

[Feronix]

Not a big fan of UV stuff personally, but the build looks good! Definitely not bad for a first time watercooling, and that in a Prodigy

 

[yassarikhan786]

Looks awesome

 

[WYP]

I am always amazed how much power can be packed in a prodigy.

I hope you will make a windowed side panel to look at that!

 

[RadeonHDx]

Looks soo cool

 

[kevior]

Wow that looks amazing. If only water cooling was cheaper to do. I would love to do this

 

[Bartacus]

I think that's a fantastic first build! Nothing like learning the ropes in cramped spaces. Great job sir!

 

[Tindo]

Very sexy devil

 

[NeverBackDown]

Is the side of the power supply like that normally or did you put something there to make it look like dense foam?

Nice rig!

Nice rig!

Thank-you! No ordinarily you would see the PSU + stowed cables here but I cut some foam inserts to create a shroud. Its rather effective yet cheap and easy to do.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Welcome for noticing and it looks great, not a bad idea

 

[Dacho]
