Hello,
This is my first time i want to build my own pc. I did alot of research but i am still not sure and i always think a second opinion is a good idea.
I wanted a no compromise bitfenix prodigy build with the option to overclock when the time is right.
The one thing i am not sure about at this point is the fan controller installing. The idea is to have a 230mm front intake, 140mm back exhaust and 2x 120mm exhausts. But then i would have to remove the 5.25 drive cage, as i have seen some photos of other builds where they have the bitfenix recon fan controller installed with no 5.25 drive cage. Im not sure if they modded it or its just mountable with screws or something without having the 5.25 drive cage.
