Thanks. The stickers have been removed since these pics were taken by the way but they do give it a nice cheese factor that I enjoyed for a while.

Jesus, man! IT would look so much better with a Plexi glass window on the side of it, you could put a few holes in it so your GPU gets ventilation. Otherwise a fantastic looking build!

LOOK AT MY TUBE, MY TUBE IS AMAZING. DONT LICK IT IT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE ANYTHING. IT DOESN'T HAVE A MANE OR PENIS EITHER. SHUT UP.

Thanks. The bitfenix does come with a small window built on the side panel which is what I am using for now. I just left it out of the pics.

 

Strangely no ventilation holes though. (pic below just taken from google)

I literally just google it before you poted and feel stupid now. those holes could be a good addition, however.

I agree completely but unfortunately my wallet does not agree with my opinion. I can always add a higher spec card later as funds allow. Thanks for the comment.

good job squeezing that CPU cooler in there! most people dont use the space that the prodigy provides for a mITX system.

Thanks. It was really only possible due to the geometry of this ASUS MOBO as related to the CPU and RAM locations. Other types of itx boards would now allow it physically. Still a tight fit and can take some time to get all wiring completed.

Great build :D Love the colours, but you may get more airflow to the CPU cooler if that top fan was an intake not an exhaust. Unless you reverse the rear and cooler fans to get more airflow to it.

Thanks much. I am getting about 29-30 degrees for the CPU with the current configuration. Set up the top fan thinking that I would need 2 exhaust fans to keep it cool enough.

AWESOME build.  Love the blue case and the INSANELY large cpu cooler.  I already sent you a pm asking about physical size conflicts with the daughter board of that z87ideluxe motherboard.  Thanks for the reply when you're able to.  cheers

Why 16gb of ram?

Why a GTX760 4gb? 2gb would have been fine or you could of gotten a 770

Also why the Samsung pro? you could of got the evo and saved some money
