@ Robert: I was considering using the AX1200, seeing as I've had it lying in my closet for more than a year already... But, I probably will end up using a Seasonic 860 Platinum - let's see...so more monies, eish... Have a look in my very first post, it mentions the watercooling components...

From the back, it looks like this - please note screws will be shortened , this is just test fitting :) a shot from above, showing around 1mm clearance between the motherboard tray and PSU - I have not modified the side of the case to fit the PSU, it has 1mm clearance on the fan-side...

Thanx for comments, and looking, as always, appreciative! Just a few progress pics, this is coming together nicely, amazing how much one can achieve in a couple of hours here and there :) For some reason, I quite luv these two shots..... and anyway, been having a go at...

From the dxf above to this......came pretty nice, 3mm thick, should be the final version.... A Few pics of the plate being fitted.... Here you can see how the whole shebang was moved a couple cm's towards the PSU side, to make way for the GFX watercooling...not so much in the...

A Small update: Jeesh, I luv the postie, just dropped of my last bit of hardware, the second Aquaero WB for the 680, as well as the pretty decent SLI bridge to join the 2 blocks. Also, the backplate in the earlier photos was only a prototype, alowing me to finetune a few settings, before...

Here is a shot from the bottom, with the rail being secured by 3x 3mm screws- both the bottom and vertical motherboard retention rails have been drilled and tapped for 3mm screws, makes life easy should you want to do future work/mods. I hate poprivets with a passion! and, a...

We cannot have the motherboard tray dangle loose inside the case, so I fabbed a few brackets for it, which provide a very sturdy anchor - Adamski over at Overclock.net might want to do something similar. upon closer inspection, I need to trim the vertical one down, even though it would...

Of course, for what I am planning, nothing on the inside will remain, it will be totally custom - so out with it! All handled by my trusty old Makita 18V cordless... Usually with my build logs, I would do a step-by-step of the process, from measurements to final product, but...

The Prodigy being a mini-ITX case, could have complicated matters, but, due to the rather volumous capacity of it, being similar in volume to many micro-ATX cases, I thought it might be pretty simple to convert it for MATX use. edit: For the Boyz over at Bitfenix - this ain't red, it's a mix...

As some of you may remember, a while ago I started a project worklog, named iProdigy. This was going to serve as a small, yet powerful gaming/everyday monster for my iWife :) Well, the system is doing really well, I gave it a few weeks burn-in on the online racing simulator, iRacing, where...

Thanx Mate. Appreciate your feedback, but really after a full alu version of this case :)

No worries, thought it might be something to that effect. But, I see you skillfully avoided the question about the aluminium version :rofl: On a serious note though, any chance for an alu version in future? Would be the ultimate LAN/Mod box. What about a limited run of 50 only, with a...

Ahemm...now if you can take the suggestions I have made in the OCAU forum, where I have my project log, you can make it even better - it's not bad at all as a starting-base, but you have the opportunity to elevate it to the next level. Now tell me, when can we order a full aluminium version...

There's no such thing as MiniATX. It should be Micro-ATX. [/pedantic mode off]

Nothing, why should something be wrong? Not trolling, but really, why do people always think all the cores should read exactly the same under load, as well as idle? I mean ffs, would you go and do 60 remounts just for the sake of a few deg C? IRL, there will be zero extra headroom due to...
