i love the Bitfenix prodigy and all the space that gives you it's a ton really and i want a small portable machine ultra quiet water cooled and capable of mantain my parts (not those parts) super cooled because i plan to overclock them i name it '' the Y.O.L.O Machine'' because of following reasons:

1. it's my first water cooled system
2. it's my first time modding a case (ever though it's just holes and taking off the up and bottom handles)

somebody said external radiators? because it's what im hearing right now baby! all dem radiators are going to be externally mounted! and there's when the song ''A bitfenix prodigy meets a dremel'' starts to play, i'll be cutting like 6 holes or so in the case to fit the tubing for the loop .

i know i know it's overkill, i can get better hardware, it's a waste of money (MY money let me say?) i just need a single radiator of that thickness and yada yada yada i wont be listening any of you INFIDELS!! SILENCE! I KILL YOU! I KILL YOU TILL YOU'RE DEAD! (insert a photo of achmed here)

anyways i going to order the parts (mainly from amazon and FrozenCPU) maybe the next week or the next after that and i'll keep you guys (who wont judge me and give me constructive critics) updated!!

thanks for reading my build log! may the force be with all of you!

Note: the TDP of the radiators was found using the next formula: width x length x thickness x 0.000291231
 
Very interresting, as an owner of a Prodigy, i cant wait to see you make it happen. I was only able to fit 200mm in front, and 240 in top.
