Stripped everything out of the prodigy. Coming from a TJ-07 i was a little sceptical about the options available for a small form factor case. But gotta say its a really well built and designed case. removed all the HDD racks, and the plastic SSD mount on the back panel.

 

After measuring and visualizing the way I could fit both these rads in there I committed on it and bought them. And yes it was tight. Literally millimeters tolerance.

Finally got them in, although i did need to drill some holes on the front for mounting the 200mm rad at the very base of the case. The standard 200mm mounting points on the prodiy are raised above the floor of the case.

Motherboard arrived the next day. Ain't she pretty.

I'm really glad i chose the black acetal block instead of the clear plexi. Looks stunning

Pump in.

The mounting on the bracket wasn't quite right to go directly onto the second SSD holes. So again a little DIY job.

And begun pluming it all in.

Not entirely happy with this one, its not far away from kinking.

sweet!

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
