    Welcome to my buildlog of the Bitfenix Prodigy called: IMP


    [​IMG]

    What is an Imp?
    An imp is a mythical creature, similar to a fairy or demon. They are common in folklore and superstition. The word Imp is probably derived from the term Ympe.
    Imps in most stories are more naughty than truly a threat to humans. Imps are originally found in Germanic mythology, in which they are described as small, relatively weak demons. They are often depicted as small, unattractive creatures. They were not necessarily malicious. Their behavior is usually wild and uncontrollable. They love to deceive people, but usually do so purely to get attention.

    And this is what the build is about. Small, wild and uncontrollable.

    Enjoy! More to come!

    The motherboard is nowhere to be found. But I can not say that I can't do no work on the IMP.
    Went shopping today for some Dremelparts. And a saw for plexiglas.

    This beautifull Corsair H60 is my new cooler. I wanted a Cooler Master, but then again. The Haswell would be very hot. So that's why I bought this nice piece of watercooling.

    And also the Bitfenix Window Side Panel was deliverd with the Bitfenix Spectre 200mm black.
