Nice work. Shame its not a AX in there, you could have done some cutting sleeving and crimping to have all the wires a perfect length.
 
That GTX 670 looks so tiny in there xD, well I guess that's the point of this build. Liking the look of it though. Quite amazing how much you can fit into a Bitfenix Prodigy.
 
If you are considering doing a watercooled prodigy yourself, be prepared to spend hours routing cables and tinkering with tubing because everything in there is so tight. Also, the case will not support a front 200mm radiator and fan. I learned this the hard way. After purchasing the phobya 200mm radiator and Yate Loon fan and drilling mounting holes in the case, I learned that there was no clearance for the side panel of buttons/usb. So, unless you're prepared for some epic modding to move that panel, I would just go with the 180mm Magicool rad instead. It was a goal of mine to have the case be completely dust filtered, with some positive pressure. It was easy dust filtering the top 120mm fans which are intakes. The front 180 was much more difficult. I ended up using an NZXT 200mm fan filter sandwiched between the case and the front plastic panel.
 
The cables are seriously squeezed into that area under the motherboard. I would recommend getting one of those psu extender things just to give yourself a little more room in there. I also strung up all the cables into the walls and anywhere I could. There are some cables which you cannot hide no matter what you do such as the side panel cables. Don't be fooled by other prodigy projekts which don't show a completed build and have very few cables installed.
