[Daniel91]

I'm moving all my parts from my 450D to a prodigy M

 

Chaiss : Bitfenix Prodigy-M mATX (Black)

 

Motherboard/CPU : Asus Gryphon Z87 with i5 4670K

 

CPU Cooler : Noctua NH-L9i

 

RAM : CORSAIR Vengeance 1600C9 (8GB=2x4GB)

 

Storage : PNY Optima 120GB

 

Storage : Seagate 1TB 7200/64MB/SATA3

 

Optical Drive : LG 12X Blu-ray RD+DVDRW

 

GPU : MSI R9-270 Gaming 2GB (2 of them in crossfire)

 

PSU :  FSP 650W Aurum 92+ Platinum

 

Fans : BitFenix Spectre Pro 230mm red LED for the chasis base

 

Fans : BitFenix Spectre Pro 140mm red LED X3 2 for top 1 for rear

 

the window on my 450D got cracked by a friend so i have to change my parts over to a new case so i was thinking to experiment the prodigy M's mATX chasis

 

please let me know  if theres anything I should change

oh btw i was wondering  is there any way i can water cool my CPU in that chasis?

after watching Linus make a build in it it seemed really tight

Why not just fit a new windows? or get a new case side?

 

The prodigy M is very small you will find water cooling quite tight

well i asked the shop but a 450D's side panel with window cost $80

so i kinda thought if its a waste of money

I know corsair sells replacement side panels for cheap, like $30, on their website. The 450D's isn't listed on the parts section, but I'm sure if you contact them they'll sort something out for you for well less than $80.

What? they are like $20-$40 on their website - I cannot find the 450d one specifically though

If it is just the plexi window, buy a piece of plexi and glue it inside

Why do you need the LH-9i? You wouldn't get a decent overclock out of that. It's low profile.

[Moosie]

Also, location? Are these all parts you already have? Is there a budget?

thats not modding it replacing modding id if i change something to add on to the chasis or something

yeah well im in singapore and i have to get them to ship it to me from god knows where lol

You could probably get a piece of acrylic for $10, bit of double sided tape, bam, new window.

The NH-L9i will hardly be an improvement over the stock cooler, and I don't think it's worth it especially if it's a placeholder before you watercool.

i was more talking about cutting a window and putting some plexiglass on it but if youre ok with buying it then i guess that's your choice

it came with the motherboard and CPU package for free

Singapore, yes these are the part i'm moving from my 450D  except for my 230mm fan i didn't buy anything else

i know thats why im asking is there any way i can fit a water cooled radiator on my CPU or get a Hyper 212X which is about $100

An h100 fits in the prodigy M, but it's likely a pain to install, since there is so little space to work.

Then just get the hyper 212 or something like that.

Nevermind then, that's a good deal.
