Upgrading to a Prodigy

[Peopie]

So I've really been wanting to shrink my current rig which is in a NZXT Phantom 410 into a BitFenix Prodigy

 

I recently just got the case, but I have yet to get the mother board yet.

 

my main concern is if everything that i currently have will be able to fit into the prodigy

 

My current rig is being watercooled with the following:

 

XSPC EX 240mm

XSPC EX 120mm

DDC1-T(I think thats the correct version)

XSPC DDC Pumptop/reservoir

XSPC Raystorm

EK 570 SE block

 

 

I know that all of those can fit inside of a prodigy, but the main concerns that i've been having is where my hard drive will go

I currently have a 1TB Seagate Barracuda being cached by an M4 adrenaline, so I dont know if all of these will fit or not, or if I must remove all the hard drive cages and mount my 3.5" drive in a not-completely-secure method

 

I guess the main concern is just that hard drive. 

 

Oh, and it would be nice to fit an optical drive into it as well, but I believe that is going to be impossible with a 240mm radiator.

Uhhh, Id say no. Which means it would 99% fit. Aparently I dont understand how you can fit so much gear into a Prodigy. Might have to cut some things and what not...but itd probably work. ^___^

All of it will fit snugly :) Just use some really strong double sided tape to stick your hard drive somewhere.

This is some of the best double sided tape in the business: http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Heavy-Duty-Clear-Mounting/dp/B004BA1SC4

Thanks for replying!

 

I guess I'd have to be removing all of the hard drive cages and the optical drive tray to fit everything in there, and I guess I'll end up mounting my HDD with some of that tape you recomennded.

What I plan to do with my Prodigy build is to drill holes in the bottom of the case and mount my HDD under the case. I will be using rubber washers as well to reduce vibrations.
