Hope you’re all doing great! :) I got a package on the 22nd of May that consisted of some mesh for my build. I was planning to release a big update where I use all the mesh I’ve gotten but after last night, when I did some working on this project, I was so happy about the results that I couldn’t resist to share it with you now! :D So here it is! Made a change on the front panel. I love the look of steel and mesh so I pretty much had to ;) Get ready! ______________________________________________________ As most of you know the black version of the Prodigy has some kind of mesh in the front panel. Because I love the look and color of steel and mesh I thought that I should modify the front panel so suit my needs. I was lucky that my father, who provided me with the mesh, could make s...

Baudouin, on , said:You're welcome. I will be waiting to see the progress... Thanks! :) So, my birthday was yesterday and this package dumped in, what a timing! :D An update coming up soon enough! ;) (I'm throwing a birthday party this weekend so don't know if I'll have the time then! :o ) Best Regards nikkop

Baudouin, on , said:Very good idea to reproupe all the cables underneath and well hidden. Remind me the bottom IN/Out connectors from the Apple Cube. And to finish with a Mesh panel to hide the cuts, why not for the final touch. Great detailed Job. Funny too the box trick !! :thumbsup_anim: Thanks a lot for your kind words! :) Talking about mesh panels, watch this update! :) Hello all of you! :), Here's an update for you, hope you're excited! :) UPDAAAAAAATE! :D Replacing the old I / O & PCI-E back on the chassis with aluminum "mesh". - 30/04 -2013 UPDATE 29/4 - 2013 Hello everyone! Hope youre all doing great! Here I am witha new update :) This update will be about constructing and mounting of the new back piece. The original back with the I/O- and PCI-ports on the Bifenix Prodigy. Due to the fact that Ive created a new place for these holes on my mod the original back fits no purpose any longer. So I will...

Good morning! Sorry for the late replies, but Thanks a bunch! :D Here's a new update for you! :D Enjoy UPDAAAAAAATE! :D Cutting the chassis and mounting the motherboard plate. - 08/04 -2013 UPDATE 08/4 - 2013 Hello dear readers! :D Long time no see, as they say. Joking aside, I am now back on track after a break from the project for about a month. But now I'm here to take it all by storm and I hope you are ready! :D So we may all wonder what it will be about this time? :) Last update was an unboxing of GIGABYTE z77x-UP7 while this time it will be modification related ! I showed this picture earlier in the thread to demonstrate how it looks when the motherboard is inside the chassis. However the motherboard is just inserted to see...

Hello readers at InsanelyMac! First of all I'd like to say I'm terribly sorry that it has taken this time. No one is to blame (besides myself) but I did have some really bad luck regarding some stuff that prolonged the making of this update a lot. What has taken a lot of time because of some stuff not working as they should is the video. Thanks for understanding, Here it is! UPDAAAAAAATE! : D Unboxing of GIGABYTE z77x-UP7 and test-mounting in the case - 12/03 -2013 UPDATE 12/3 to 2013 Hello dear readers! I've finally managed to fix material for a new update. A lot of crap got in the way. First my SDcard would die, then the microphone wouldnt want to work, then had my computer formatted etc.etc. Everything that could happen did happen :( Here's the update thou! :) About the motherboard I have been provided with by This update will be mostly about unboxing of the motherboard z77x-UP7. The unboxing will be in the form of a Video and p...

Hi all! No reply since my last update, why? :( Anyways, here's a teaser of what I've been doing the past days! ;) Best Regards Nikkop

UPDAAAAAAATE! : D Modification and creation of side panel with a window. - 05/01 -2013 UPDATE 05/1 - 2013 Hello dear friends and companions! Hope you all had a nice and enjoyable Christmas and a great New Year! :) I myself have been down in my former city where I visited my family and friends for Christmas and New Year. This does not mean that I had a vacation from project, oh no! ;) Instead, I took some time and worked with the side panel to get it done just the way I want it. Eager to result? :) Let's begin! ;) _____________________________________________ Here we see the first picture in this update. Nothing fancy, it's one of the side plate with holes (when motherboard position is in original condition) will be able to take in air through the holes for the graphics card. I chose this site because it is the one we will look through to see into the chassis. In any case, you can put the side panel on the side of the chassis you want, which is...

buoo, on , said:Great project, same for the video :) I hope you'll be able to do what you say. Thanks a bunch for the kind words :) I've measured and tried the setup and it should work! :) So now it comes to my assembly skills, haha. Hope you find the project interesting and would like to follow! :) Best Regards Nikkop

Here's an update for all of you! ;) Prototype images and Video - 16/12 Hi! Hope you're all good. Please enjoy my update and comment! :) Thanks ___________________________________ To be able to visualize my ideas and how this modification is going to end up like I've decided to make a couple of prototype images and a video clip where I explain what I will do. I've done these so I can show you what I'm going to do in this project log, but at the same time for myself to be able to see what I want the final product to look like. As you probably know by now my modification will consist of putting an ATX/E-ATX motherboard into a m-ITX case. Please have a look at my video and my images and you'll find out how I've planned this modification. Video: Please have a look at my video describing the modification! Images: First I'll show you the orignal pictures for each part and then my prototypes Front Original: Modified: Let's start...

In this project, a well-planned and excecute modification of computer chassis named "BitFenix ​​Prodigy" will be performed.

UPDATE 5/1 2012! Here comes an update that has been a pain to do!. It has taken quite a long time and it has been a lot of trial and errors, so to speak, but eventually I finished it and was happy with the results! :) Here you read about and see pictures of how I shortened and sleeved the 24pin and 8pin cables! I begin with showing additional products I got for this update from Djungelapa. I got pins for cables and a crimp tool. What I started to do was to check how long the cables were and how long I wanted them. As we see in the pictures, they are relatively much longer than is really necessary, and since the cables will be stored inside the power supply so I would like them to be as short as possible. Then it was time to start cutting up the existing cable sleeving. Heheh I have a pet snake, that have shed his skin off ;) Here, I measure about how to shorten the cables. What I did not think about with this was that where the 24pin connector is not a...

PookyMacMan, on , said:Nik, I am liking this mod more and more. :) IMO, when you're done you should post in MacMod of the Month. ;) Thanks Pooky! Means even more when it's from a staff member too :) Hehe. I may do that! The project is estimated to be finished in May. I have a lot left to do but hopefully I'll be able to pull it off, I've got a lot of other school work so I'll have to finish them all! :) I'm also waiting for another package from Djungelapa with pins for the 24pin and 8pin so I can shorten them, they're too long now :) Thanks Best Regards Nikkokick

UPDATE 28/3 Hi everyone! Sorry for the long wait! Different reasons for me not being able to update until now, some of them you can read about in this update! I also welcome my new sponsors! Antec (I have now received their package), Quiet PC and Djungelapa.se! You can read about these new sponsors in the first post of this thread! I have updated that post. http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/ http://www.quietpc.com/ http://www.djungelapa.se/ Enjoy the latest update! This update will be about how I solved the "problem" with getting the motherboard in place as the PowerMac G5 has a different standard on how the distances are set. Also, I'm updating with new partners! Please check at the top of the page for partners / sponsors. I welcome Antec (now that I have received the product), Quiet PC and Djungelapa as my new partners. Originally I was going to use my motherboard plate I got from Mountain Mods. With this motherboard plate,...
