@rewarder...Thanks for the kind words! I like having an ATX system available as well...I've been thinking about either using the RV-03 I just picked up or building a Dimastech bench for my shop. I agree with you, it is definitely more practical, especially for changing out or testing hardware.

@Luca...Thanks! I'm a big fan of the Silverstone PSUs...I haven't had the chance to use the new 650, but plan on using one in my next mATX or mITX build...The Prodigy builds are close to being done, just have to finish a few small mods (install the window panels, sleeve the cables) and they will be ready...

You're starting to make me even more curious

Just to compare the S3 to the size of the Prodigy...they are really similar size wise. The S3 is the same size as the Prodigy with the handles and a little deeper.







Fillport and Temperature LED

This isn't a big update, but is certainly an important one...

I decided to do something a little different and add a fillport this time around. I normally don't do them, so I figured "why not?"

The fillport is going to be placed in the drop-in rad mount plate in the roof of the case, but will still be covered by the case top panel. Getting a rough idea of where I want it...




Going to be using these guys...




Pilot hole drilled and oiled...




First step bit done..ready for the Big Kahuna...




Completed hole...




Fillport in place




From the underside of the panel...




Panel installed...




Inside...




Next up is the temperature light for my Aquaero XT...it moves from RGB based on temperature profiles I set in the Aquasuite software...

Stock I/O panel...




I disassembled it...drilled a pilot hole...




A little of this to get it perfect...




Looks like it fits well...




Finished...can't believe I actually got that centered by hand!




Anyways...as always, comments, concerns, critiques, etc are always welcome!

Thanks for watching so far everybody!

Really clean and excellent job!
Same dimensions but a lot of more space inside, thx for comparing pics

Nice shit going on here.

Good job/luck

You definitely know what you're doing!

I see where the fan controller went now I guess it's there since it's kind of in the center of the two rads and now you have the shortest ways possible to route the cables. I also like to see the drop in hole, this makes the filling process much easier.

The Prodigy really isn't a small case. Have you ever had a closer look at the SilverStone Sugo SG09?

I've been doing this for a few years...

Normally, I don't do a fill port on a case this big as it's usually not necessary...However, I figured I would do something a little different this time around.

I would never term the Prodigy as a small case. Volume-wise, it is nowhere near Intel specs for SFF (<19L) The SG09 is a decent case, I just am not a fan of the way it looks though. If it had more style, it could be a pretty decent case.

Here's my last uSFF case...Wesena ITX2

Sitting on top a LiLi PC-V351




Not much larger than my DAC/Amp




Internals...

Sleeving

Been working on the sleeving for a few days now...

Here's the Mobo and GPU main cables...They still need to be trained, but are starting to take shape...




Installed (remember, they still need to be trained) GPU cables...




24 pin...







The Aquaero cable that comes with the AQ5 is something like 36" long..waaay too long for what I needed, so I had to shorten it...

First up..cut to length...




Remove the plastic wire sleeve...




Separate the wires..I wanted to keep the shielding wire..so I stranded that as well...




Cable crimped , connectors in place, ready for sleeving...










Finished product...




Front panel connectors...shortened them too and pinned them into different connectors...







Ready for shrink...




Shortened and resleeved the RGB LED from the front panel for the AQ5




Here's the AQ5, Power/Reset, and 2 temp sensor cables...




As always...comments, criticisms, etc are always welcome!

@LRT: There is a bug on forum, you have to use lowercase tags. So [img] and not [IMG], I have fixed and edited your post..only 2s with notepad
First links are broken, isn't our forum



Sleeving..I have done meters and meters too when I had LiLi..you need a lot of time

Man you are good at this stuff! Love this work!
