Prodigy Projekt – A Watercooled, Overclocked Mini-ITX LAN Monster!

[MarshallR@ASUS]

The Mini-ITX form factor has been around since the early 2000′s (thank you, VIA), but like a good A-Team episode, come 2012 it finally feels like the plan is coming together. Prodigy Project won’t help you quell the lust for a new, sexy little LAN machine, that’s for sure, so if you’re prone to outbursts of impulse spending I’d stop reading now.



Still with me? Good!

Nice Build! Doesn't the Fanless PSU heat up a lot caged in like that? I am considering a similar build and wanted to get the Seasonic Fanless PSU but since its caged in I am worried it wouldn't get enough air flow from the case fan.

Where's the SSD ? I don't find it anywhere on the picture.

Could be mounted on the closed side of case (under MB tray.)

Sweet ... like a WhiteKnight. Cudos.c.

And what's about those 2 radiator ? Does only one would not be enough ?

I try to understand everything i'm planning to try a build like this one soon and i never build anything before.

Does 2 SSD instead of 1 could be possible ?

Thx. Kevin

One 2x120 will probably be OK but I'm not sure where he put the SSDs
