Show Us Your Rig [6]

Ryan the new GPU setup will be a mean mosheen for you!

Alan, the Prodigy looks about the same size as an ATX case on the outside. I miss the point of an ITX build of the case is so big. I would want it to fit nicely next to my cable box or DVD player. But then I guess I miss the point of ITX in general when one can build a full PC if video streaming or archiving moves is what is done.

Gary, the case is probably half the size of yours, probably the same width, but length and height is much smaller. It's specs are 9.84" x 15.91" x 14.13" my case is 9 X 22.5x24 to give you an idea.

My old HP case in which I did a mATX build is 7"x14"Hx15"L.
This one: HP rebuild.

Like Steve pointed out this is a small but powerful build where you won't give anything up only size. It's flexibility for full water cooling and moding has also made it a favorite.

Bad YouTube link Alan.

Boy, this video is popular.

This guy is an amazing modder/builder of the highest level and I would suggest anyone looking to full water loop to check his work out. My Prodigy build will pale in comparison but it will still be massive fun and should run like a scalded ape !

I should have known Gary would get it...it's well known he knows how to break things

Better than breaking wind.

Better than breaking wind.

That's my minor.

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

You break wind in a minor key? Now, that's talent!

 

[Britton30]

LOL! I haven't tried any key, I go for decibels and time.

EVGA Power Supply

So as discussed earlier, I needed a power supply for my backup system and one of the suggestions was to look at the EVGA Supernova 1000 G2. Though I initially balked because I didn’t want to spend that much on a backup system, and wasn’t looking to replace my Antec Signature SG-850 in my main rig.

After reading Johnny Guru’s review on the EVGA though I decided to get it and move the Antec to the backup system. In fact, it was Johnny’s review of the Antec that helped me get it. Anyway…



EVGA recommends the fan be facing down when installed at the bottom of the case but I didn't want to do that as the fan intakes air and I don't have a screen on the bottom of my case. Anyway there's enough air flow in the case that it shouldn't be a problem facing up. It's not as though this thing will be pushed to the point of maxing out the fan anyway.



Here’s some physical comparisons between to two power supplies…..

Both are solidly built, use high quality Japanese capacitors and parts, and are heavy. The Antec is 80 plus Bronze, whereas the EVGA is 80 Plus Gold.





I have to say though I kind of prefer the fan being on the back of the power supply as opposed to top or bottom.

Also the Antec's fan is a lot quieter than the EVGA. In fact the Antec is so quiet I’ve had to check at times to see if it was still running. The EVGA isn’t loud per se, but you’ll hear it if you're near it.



And as you can see, the EVGA is longer than the Antec, though they both have about the same weight.

Love the totally modular design. Makes for really neat cable management. What I don’t like, are the exclusively red PCIe VGA cables (shown in system image). Had to use my NZXT cables to hide those.

I can't say I needed a 1000 watt power supply, in fact I don't; but for the price ($140 with credits & rebate through Amazon), and the quality of this thing... what the heck.

I'll install the Antec in the backup later this week.

Peace

Looks like a very nice PSU Drew.

Dam I can't actually believe how tidy the cables are at the back of your case!!
