So the new XFX PSU came and fits perfectly in the Prodigy build it's small but looks well made. My Corsair H80i is having to be returned and Corsair is sending out a replacement and wants to review mine. It has so much air in it's system that as i was moving it around in the Prodigy installing it the best way I could the noise from the water and air exchanging was fantastic. I called and the technician asked me to return it. What is with quality control these days. It's a good thing I knew what to listen for and understood this amount of air in a sealed water system just couldn't be a good thing.

Looks good Alan. The hoses look like the size of my arm next to the ITX board.
You should ask Corsair for $125 for the trouble you're having to change it out.

This is a crazy intensive build this mini-ITX as room is always a premium. I have had to think long and hard about the order of things like mounting the sealed water system to the mobo outside or inside the case. Don't get me wrong unlike all my other builds this one is a joy on a different level. It's a slow and steady build to get as much right as possible. I've got my GPU and light kit as well as the windowed side panel so once Corsair get's it's act together and get me a replacement I should have more pictures and benchmarks. Side note this Prodigy case is built like nothing I've ever seen before the gauge of the steel is flat out amazing. It's one solid build and I would suggest to anyone to follow with a mini-ITX build I finally choose Z77 as the Z87 had overclock issues and no doubt the coming Z97 will be crazy good. This case will take anything you want to throw at it ! Lose the optical drive and dual water rad locations open up. I'm still an optical drive using dinosaur.

So am I. And will be as long as I can buy music and movies on disk (quality is usually better than downloads).

So I have my lighting in the PSU wired up the GPU fits and aside from my cooling solution and possibly one more case fan in the roof, my trick new side wired sata cables and the Seagate 3TB I'm almost ready to load my OS and start dialing things in.

System looking good there Alan. I'm assuming you're still waiting for the replacement cooler?

BTW how could you tell the old one wasn't working correctly?

He mentioned it here Drew, Show Us Your Rig [6]

Alan, that is looking really good. I like the PSU, XFX has always made some quality products in my opinion.
