hi, do you believe in love at first sight? i do coz it happened when i saw the prodigy casing.. then i decided to change from tj08-e to this beautiful beast prodigy, i call it the dark G rises (prodi 'gy')

i'm sure u guys have seen the casing before, here's mine



i'm planning to do a custom water cool in this build. i bought the psu



and the ram last night



the purpose of choosing the ax650 is because it can support up to the top gpu currently, gtx690 and itx mobo can only put a single card so no sli/cfx, 650w is more than enough for this build. and another reason is its wording color, gold/white/black, to match with my mobo, asrock z77e-itx (eta next week)

for the ram i chose black is for the same reason, the theme color

below is the unboxing, nothing special

the psu



and the ram

and about the water cooling parts, what i got are

ek dcp2.2 res + pump combo , ek xt 240 rad, tfc 120 rad, xspc rasa, primoflex black tubing, bitspower fittings, and gt1850 ap-15 fans



i'm thinking to put the 120 rad at the front panel, and the 240 rad on top, this is how it looks at the front panel setup





top panel setup

i'm thinking where do i put the pump,

here



or here



anyway this can be determined later

the clearance between the 240 rad and 120 rad allowed me to do a push/pull on top rad, need to get more fans then



the next thing is i try to put in the psu and see how it goes



first attempt was without the cables and the space is quite tight

and now with cables



it's very small space there so i have to bend the cable real bad to fit it in....

Why don't u post it Here ???

ha ? gtx690 ?? can't afford that la.....gpu i'm still considering which model to get....will decide once i get my mobo, hehe

what is 3.120 setup? yes i'm planning to water cool the gpu as well.....

i will consider about that

yeah, can't wait to start with what i have now....

i will wc gpu as well so i guess this rad setup are quite fully utilized , hehe

ah not yet, coz mobo not yet arrive, already booked now waiting ....

currently i have 4x ap15 fans for 240 rad push/pull. do u guys think should i get another 4 pieces same ap15 fans (cost around rm23x) or aerocool shark red fans (cost around rm100) for push/pull 120 rad and 1x intake above the rad and another 1 exhaust at back casing?

i think it's ok. my loop will be like this

res to pump to gpu to 240 rad to cpu to 120 rad to res

another wc pro comment, very appreciate

yea gentle the best but price not the best ...been spending alot recently for this build,

another dilemma, should i get another m4 128gb to raid or get another 500gb 2.5' hdd for this build??

i actually did looked at this block before but it can't fit well on this mobo, it may block the ram/gpu no matter how u mount it

240mm rad u can mount on top/front. only either one, u can't do both, coz the 5.25' need to sacrifice no matter putting rad front/top. unless u wanna mount the top one outside then u can have 2x240mm.

if i'm not wrong, all the rad u have are the thick one right?

and the gtx 6x0

i switch the this cheaper psu for squeezing some cash, and also it can fit better in the psu cage compare to full modular, trust me, it's really tight putting the ax650, the cable bend so bad and i worry something will go wrong if long usage

definitely not 690 la rm38xx leh....can build a whole new rig with that money...hehe

ya u are right, i already sacrifice all the hdd cage and also the odd bay. i will stick with my 240mm and 120mm rad for now, i'm not too sure about the performance of the 200mm , gonna look at more user review/feedback, if it's better than my current 120mm rad then i may change

do u know who selling this 200mm rad? sounds good

so u recommend me to change to a 200mm rad plus bitfenix spectre pro fans to replace the tfc 120 push/pull?
