Looks like the button on the front is about ready to hit the ram, I'd guess that's why it's not shorter. I'd also vote for a button in the back instead, clean front ftw.
Personally I didn't have any issues with my Sans Digital 4bay eSATA enclosure... once I got the right drives. I would make sure you use the card that came with it unless you're looking to do JBOD.
I also didn't have any issues with the 80mm fan either, those can always be changed as well if...
Nice looking build Mouse, I've seen a couple of others try to put the PSU in the front, in all honesty I would've just sprung for the Node 304 as it already had that internal layout - but I know that's not what modding is about :D
Also, the Monsta rad build was mine :D Pretty sure I was the...
Xeepsn, welcome to [H], take a look at air coolers here for your VGA, they're way better than the stock ones imo

I'm sure Foxconn will have plenty of slaves...cough.... I mean workers in some brand new factories soon that will custom tailor all the parts needed to adhere to Apples design standards.
Curious how your temps will be in that case with those two cards, Silverstone should update this case with a passive vent on the side like Fractal Design did with the Node 304.
Well that's your opinion and I respect that - I think all the more exposure itx can get the better and perhaps people start out with a prodigy never having heard of itx before and then later move to something even smaller or ask companies like BitFenix to make smaller cases for itx.
I know...
There is a difference in watercooling an SG05 and a Prodigy, the Prodigy fits into a niche market of people that like to either slap a H100 on their CPU leaving the GPU on air or for people that go full custom and want 2+ rads - you're not going to put 2+ rads in an SG05-08.
Someone watercool...
Have you guys seen the Antec ISK 600?

Will probably want to run this through google translator and I'm at work, someone will post it i'm sure
I wouldn't say it's ugly at all, I definitely wouldn't call it sleek either but for its intended purpose I think it's awesome.
Think about placement even in a carputer type situation - this case definitely fits the bill in areas where you wouldn't see it such as what I suggested earlier...

Seems like a sweet idea for a HTPC streamer or office pc, especially if you use a msata SSD and wireless card, no fans, minimal wires and no moving parts - nothing to dust out and it can be mounted behind the...
A real simple test would be to just take your faceplate off while running your pc and doing a comparative test for temps.
If your temps go down then you'll know that a mod of the faceplate would net you some positive gains.
Basically what vipz said, it's easier if you've got a molex handy to just plug the pump directly into the molex for power, this will leave no question to whether or not the pump is getting sufficient power.
Also, did you run the pump in a horizontal position first? I had a Antec 620 that I...
