[Project]: Big Bro' Prodigy (BitFenix Prodigy E-ATX mod)

To be honest with you mate, I'm looking forward for the next update, you've done one hell of an epic job so far, so I'm sure it's only going to get better!!!

Thanks a lot! :) Appreciate that my work is entertaining to follow.

I'm still thinking about what step to do next. Painting the case will probably be the last modification so I don't get any new scratches on the paint, haha :P

Thinking about attaching the motherboard tray and the PSU for real with screws and mountings this time, not only test mount to see if it fits. Permanently attaching that is! :)
And of course remove the original back of the Prodigy and attach the mesh :)

UPDATE! :D

Modification of the front panel - 24/05 -2013

UPDATE 24/5 - 2013

Hi all!

Hope you’re all doing great! :)
I got a package on the 22nd of May that consisted of some mesh for my build.

I was planning to release a big update where I use all the mesh I’ve gotten but after last night, when I did some working on this project, I was so happy about the results that I couldn’t resist to share it with you now! :D

So here it is!
Made a change on the front panel. I love the look of steel and mesh so I pretty much had to ;)

Get ready!

As most of you know the black version of the Prodigy has some kind of mesh in the front panel.

Because I love the look and color of steel and mesh I thought that I should modify the front panel so suit my needs. I was lucky that my father, who provided me with the mesh, could make some custom cuts.
Here’s the original front panel (which I have scratched a bit) and my 1mm steel mesh on the side.

I remove the “mesh” of the Prodigy. It’s pretty thin and light, nothing fancy, but it works :)

Test mounting what is to be done! :D

I mark the spots where I will use the rivet gun. I had to drill up the holes a little bit with a 2mm drill. No problems doing that tho :)

I did the same with the front panel. I marked where I wanted the mounting holes and I then drilled in the plastic front panel.

The front panel with 4 drilled holes - one in each corner.

And here’s the rivet gun! I’m very excited to see the results.

The new modified front panel with real 1mm thick steel mesh! All that is left to do is mount it! :)

And here’s the final result! I was so satisfied with the results that I’ll give you a double sized image, haha! I think it turned out great and looks amazingly good, as I love the look of steel and mesh. I like the industrial feeling :)

______________________________________________________________

This was, as I said, a small update because I couldn’t resist to share it! :D

I got a few more mesh-parts than what I used in this project, I wonder what I will use those for? ;)

Hope you liked this update (even if you don’t like mesh), hehe :)

I’d love to hear what you think about it!
Thanks for following this log

Take care!
Best Regards

Wow, that looks really good!

Will you be painting it black? Cause from one side I do like the way it looks now but on the other side, the casefeet (handles) will stay black?
