Build log of "Unobtainable" - X79 in a white Bitfenix Prodigy

[Fruergaard]

Hi all

When I first saw the Prodigy I was sold, and knew I had to have one and make a killer transportable rig in it.
Only down size was the only option of a ITX motherboard with only one PCI-e slot and socket 1155.

And I believe I am/was not alone in the boat
BUT to the rescue a custom motherboard came in sight, which would allow me to make a much more powerfull system in the prodigy case.

So this will be the build log of what to me in some time was "Unobtainable".
Hope you like it, any suggestions is welcome

Thanks to the sponsors who have help me make this rig possible :
Aquatuning.de


Coolgamers.dk


NZXT

Thanks

What? Do not get that post?

The Color Scheme of the board reminds me of biostar.... but then again Biostar doesn't make any ITX 2011 socket Mobos... So im not sure...

I recently did a Bitfenix Prodigy build as well.
I built one for the purpose of using it as a LanPC...But I also used it for my Hackintosh and Ubuntu OS loaded as well. A tri OS operating mini PC you can say.

Worklog here.. http://forums.pureoverclock.com/work...tml#post131659

I can't wait to see what you do with this build... I love this little case

It's not directed at you, but another forum member who has a Prodigy work log going. Stan (Doctor_Death) just wants to share with you.

I have no clue what mobo that is but I'd like to know. Looking forward to the build log. Thanks for posting.

Ah, very well..

And about the mobo, you have to wait :-)

I believe this is the work log Stan (Doctor_Death) is referring to.

Ummm i love the prodigy, cant wait to see what your going to do with it!

Well at first I thought it was a Rampage IV Gene, but the RAM slots are in the wrong spot (plus other things). Of course I am assuming it is micro atx, but it looks like a really odd shape, but that may just be the angle.

[Solara2xb]

I think I found the motherboard..

Its a Shuttle X79 2x PCIe-16x
2x watercooled GPU or 2x single slot GPU (like FirePro V7800 / V7800P / V7900). Is addition it has space for an mSATA + mPCIe slot, and better IHS compatibility due to wider card (24cm i/o 17cm)

Pretty Interesting set-up, I am def. going to keep an eye on your build log to see how this will be coming along.

[MattyMatt]

Oh... I never thought to look at them as they usually sell bares bones kits and nothing else.

Yea it took me a while to figure out which board it was.. I found the pics from google searching " X79 Mini-ITX"

[Fruergaard]

You guys are quick.

It is from Shuttle's SX79R5 barebone

Oh... I never thought to look at them as they usually sell bares bones kits and nothing else.

Me to, but then I saw a review of it and I knew just what to do with that board :-)

About fans: Your personal oppion; change the three smaller Bitfenix to three Gentle Typhoon?
Best sound to performance ratio.

Pictures: Well most of it is still en route and should arrive the beginning of next week.
The things I currently got just lies in their boxes waiting go get in to build but isn't that interesseting right now.
If I get the GPU tomorrow I will install it's waterblock on it and mount it on the motherboard along CPU and RAM.
And then you will get pictures

I'll be using the Asus Maximus V Gene, and 2700K in my Prodigy build, also a couple of GTX660 Ti cards, 240GB SSD and a pair of 2TB drives
