Debated on posting this to the main thread, and figured this might be better. It's not a V5 (it's a V3), and it's not amaze-balls powerful, but it's mine and I like it, and it does what I need it to and then some. Here's my Craigslist find (just the case) all dressed up, but first some specs...

Just from my experience with an Antec Kuhler 620, the 120mm closed loop coolers get up to temperature really fast under heavy load. Unless you have really high quality fans on the radiator, eventually the fan(s) just can't remove heat fast enough. Temps shouldn't be as extreme under casual...

NZXT just released a bracket that's compatible with a good majority of Asetek closed-loop water coolers. http://store.nzxt.com/NZXT-KRAKEN-G10-GPU-BRACKET-p/rl-krg10.htm

Slender - The Arrival looked promising, I've been meaning to grab it at some point.

I found Desura through the Indie Royale Bundles. It might relevant to your interests.

I might be interested in on of the 7950s, do you have any feedback?

That's pretty much the bigger version of the laptop I have with the same APU and I sit and play Diablo 3 at low/medium settings and Borderlands 2 at medium settings for a few hours at a time and its pretty stable. So long as it can breathe well it should stay pretty stable under load.

If you can't fight the itch, just get a mini-ITX board and case that can support most of what you're running already. You can run your current setup (minus the motherboard obviously) inside of a Prodigy. It's not a complete upgrade, but at least it would be a smaller package.

I've thought about doing it, and I'm pretty certain it would work with no modding (haven't checked to see if the screw holes would still match up), however, flipping the panels around would move the vented panel away from your video card. If you're water cooling, its not much of an issue, but if...

The Linus Tech Tips guy did a pretty comprehensive Prodigy water cooled build, obviously a little different from what you're doing, but still gives you a pretty good idea of what you can squeeze into the Prodigy: http://youtu.be/_lNTEO4-yHs

If you're not going to overclock, there's not much point in getting the K model or the Z77 board, or you could and then at least you'd have the ability if you ever decided you wanted to. I'm running a Corsair 430w in my Prodigy, and it'll run a 660Ti just fine, so I would assume you could get...

Excellent! I'm not sure how this didn't come up in my searching. Definitely something I needed to see!

This is more of what I'm talking about: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/18789/ex-rad-487/Alphacool_NexXxoS_XT45_Full_Copper_Dual_180mm_Radiator.html?tl=g30c95s1551#blank A radiator that supports two 180mm cooling fans, which come stock in the Raven RV02.

In terms of reusability, I'm not too worried about that since I just got the case and have no plans of upgrading my case again anytime soon. I do understand that the 360mm radiators are more the standard, but I figured that the Air Penetrator fans that the case came with would work better with...

Hey Everyone, I'm considering building my first water cooling loop and I've got what should be simple questions, but would like more experienced answers on. I just recently rebuilt my machine in a Silverstone Raven RV02, and one of my biggest questions I've got at the moment is would I be...

Bumping for a good seller.

I've got the MSI Z87-GD65 and its been great so far. I haven't run into any issues with the Killer NIC, but I do hear that there isn't driver support for it on the Linux side, which isn't an issue for me since this is my gaming machine. I really can't think of anything bad about it. Just my two...

From recent experience trying to SLI a 3gb 660Ti with a 2gb 660Ti, you will probably run into issues. I wouldn't even get an option in the nVidia Control Panel to enable SLI, only which card should be a dedicated PhysX card. I attempted to use an old method by enabling Coolbits, which allowed me...

Well, I've only got a few items that need a new home, but hopefully someone will have a use for them. I'll images as soon as I can. Everything is in lightly used condition, but in great working condition. -Lian-Li PC-Q07 $45: I used this case for a couple months before I decided it just...

From recent experience trying to SLI a 660Ti 2gb and a 660Ti 3gb card, you might actually run into some issues. From what I've found, nVidia has dropped support for varying memory amounts. Unless the 680s get special treatment, you might find yourself in a similar situation.

Bumping, you've got a PM.

I like where this is going. Hope to see some updates soon!

I've been watching this build for a while now, love where its going. Can't wait for more updates!

This is awesome. Can't wait to see how this progresses!

Looks good! Can't wait to see more!

This is a really cool little case! Can't wait to see it powder coated.

Interested to see where this is going, subscribed.

The copper looks amazing in this case! Subscribed for further updates!

Unfortunately, it looks like the mesh front panels don't come in white, you get the soft touch white, or the soft touch white.... Not quite sure why BitFenix would cater toward the other cases more than another. I wanted to get the mesh for mine, but it's just not out there from the looks of it.

Wow, military-esque themes usually aren't my thing, but this is awesome! Subscriping for further updates!

Awesome build so far! Subscribed for future updates!

I would normally recommend MSI (I've had really great experiences with my current and last motherboard), but I've also been using the Intel variant of the Gigabyte board for a while now. The layout is great, the added Wifi works pretty well, and the color theme works pretty well regardless of...

Usually for servers that were 2U, I would either just very carefully lift them on my own, or I would have to use the Buddy System. Lifts were not a luxury my company wanted to spend money on unfortunately... There were a few occasions when I was installing SAN Arrays where I would install the...

I don't have any benchmark data, but just from personal experience, going from an FX-8120 build to an i5-4670k has actually been a pretty smooth transition. Between changing to the i5 and now having PCI 3.0 slots, I feel there's a relatively noticeable difference while gaming. I really didn't...

I used a 64gb SSD as a primary drive for a little over two years. Its totally possible as long as you're willing to be choosy about what goes on it. If OP moves the page file to the secondary hard drive, and then disables hibernation, that frees up a considerable chunk of drive space. If OP...

I was never a huge fan of FFVII (yeah I said it!), but I certainly agree with Hornet, hopefully they throw FFVIII on there at some point. Supposedly Sqenix is doing an HD Remake of it, so hopefully we see that in the near future.

I know I'm pretty late to the party on this one, but I picked up a Sapphire HD 7850 2gb edition recently. I know its not too impressive, but I was able to push it to 980mhz on the core and 1250mhz on the RAM pretty easily. I could probably push harder, but I'd probably have to take it out of my...

If you go for the Windowed side panel, perhaps consider getting fans for the front of the case to help move more air. The one 120mm fan included in the front just isn't enough. What color Prodigy are you getting? The white version doesn't have the mesh front panel, so there's not as much air...

As with most things, its mostly a matter of doing the research then taking your time with the execution. Yes, its easy enough to damage something if you just haphazardly attempt a potentially damaging process. I see where you're coming from, yes, it is a pricey piece of hardware, but I'm...
