Will drop a 670Ftw in sometime...... Currently just using it for work stuffs
 

Nice.

Did you solve the ipconfig issues? :p

Seems to have worked good sir.......

This type of thing makes me want a smaller rig, but then were would I put all my drives!

Looks cool man.

This, nearly keen on selling most of my rig and building something of similar size but can't part with $1500 of new gear... Guess I'll just start building another one

Mobo change?

[Dr. Acula]

Yea, I guess it could be just that, but also have the triple slot 7970, so that'd have to go as well. I'll just eventually build an itx gaming system for taking to LANs etc. Won't needa lug a 20kg comp round then haha

Will eventually setup a WHS with the two NASs connected with iSCSI and stick all the spare HDDs in the case. Next build defiantly thinking lighter case, get rid off ODD and HDD sections entirely, bare bones plus discrete graphics and PSU.

Noticed any temperature difference?
How noisy does it get at full load?

mmmm how to test noise levels? Using H100 push/pull average max temp of 65c on lowest fan speed setting after some prime95's 4giggle oc (still trying to work out a decent voltage for ivy)

If i was to put the rig under the desk I do not think I would hear it @ all.

Why WHS? Personally would go ubuntu server software raidzfs1

It would have been an OSX server but the 7xxx series cards don't go down well with OSX.

I am currently looking at this gfx card http://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=610571&CategoryID=259 with the fan shroud removed to fit in the Prodigy (it is ugly).

Need to go to Push only on the H100 cooler to pull the rad up out of the way (Get rid of the stock fans anyway), This should then allow the gpu rad to be as a exhaust at the rear of case.

[O-L-W-A-G]

The shroud is to keep you VRAM and VRM chips cool so make sure you fit some heatsinks on them at least

[Mayhem_Lee]

Decided that owning a M-itx build and having it in the Prodigy which in reality is a M-atx sized case that only takes M-itx, (But is super awesome for space if you wanted to do a custom WC loop)
Defeats the purpose of trying to go for a small yet powerful build.

Picked up a Fractal Design Node 304 this morning.... Will create a thread with some pic's at some point

[Mayhem_Lee]

Moved all my gear into a fractal node 304 case, Tight fit but works nicely. Unfortunately I moved into a new flat without aircon so Rebuilt the prodigy. See attached photo with H100 Push/Pull & Evga 680 SC Signature edition card fitted.

Great setup. I was wondering what is your airflow intake/exhaust with the Prodigy setup? I'm trying to do the same kind of build however when reading up on push/pull setups nobody explains the directions the fans are blowing. I'd appreciate the information because this is my first time build and I want to use an H100 on top with a couple other fans. I was thinking of having the front as an intake and exhausting air out the back and top, is that a good idea with an h100?

Hey mate, 2 x 120mm  Intake fans on the front, 1 xx 140mm exhaust on the arse with the H100 exhausting through the top.

What Cpu are you wanting to run and will it be overclocked? Also which revision h100 are you using? h100 or h100i?
 People have noted cooler cpu temps when using the h100 as intake 3- 5 c difference, But with a noise increase due to the top mesh and higher case temps.

Personally i think exhausting out the top is the best option, Gets all the heat out and away from mobo and back of the gfx card.

Thanks. I'm running a 3570k overclock. I'm going  to use the h100 because I picked it up for $80 at best buy. Also did you use two 120's fans in the front and a 140 in the back?
