Prodigy is a massive ITX case. 2. There's no AMD AM3 mini-ITX boards right now... Which means you will need to swap to Intel... 3. Your PSU may not fit into the Prodigy case, or it may be a very tight fit.  *ops, sorry about double posting This post has been edited by seichirosano: Jul 18 2013, 09:10 PM |

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Jul 18 2013, 09:37 PM) Sell off your CPU/board/GPU, and possiblity the PSU... I think they can fetch for quite some bucks ya know... alright, thanks for the tips / info. will do further research. Then get an Intel setup, something like a Z87E-ITX with 4670K, or the older Z77E-ITX with a 3570K. Do note that if you opt for the latter option, you may need to get an all-in-one cooling loop because tower-based air coolers may block the PCI-E slots. Another alternative to go for a microATX build instead, for example the SG09/TJ08-E, along with a Z87/Z77 mATX board with a 4670K/3570K. The SG09 is actually smaller than the Prodigy, yet it fits tower air coolers and mATX boards.. Here's a SG09 build by CyntrixTech:  its going to be like way over my budget... roughly around how much? yeah i did follow cyntrix on their facebook page too. might ask them to build one.
