BitFenix Unleashes Prodigy

Beertintedgoggles · May 25, 2012

Sell it now and take my money! I need this for a build for my sister, might even pick up a second for myself.

I wish this was micro-ATX and made from aluminum like a Lian Li...
Anyway, I remember I seen a engineering sample a few months ago and the "feet" are made from a rubbery material and it is big enough for a Corsair H100 on top.

Now this is a nice looking case. I want one.

stupido · May 25, 2012

I always wanted to build ITX machine, but was waiting for a case to grab my attention... so there it is.. :cool:

Next week NZXT is launching CompuServe.

I like the external looks of alot of BitFenix cases, this one doesn't disappoint either.

Oh man, i was thinking about getting a Fractal Design Arc Mini for a mAtx build with a H100 but i might go mitx with an H100 and use this case!

This case
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe
Intel 3770K
Corsair H100
Asus GTX 670 CU II Top

Drool!

Haha nice!

Yeah i'm certainly going to consider this setup. At the moment i have a Lian Li V1010B which is an EATX case but i want to go with a smaller size pc but don't wanne give in on performance.

This might be the perfect candidate for the job!

This is what I had picked out.

Now only if I could shave $500 off this lol

Will have to wait for some price cuts for me.

Dimi · May 26, 2012

Hmm isn't a Corsair AX650 less expensive?

Yes, but then you can't use the Silverstone short cables they really help make a case look clean and it helps air flow for these small cases.

Dimi · May 26, 2012

I don't think you need to change the fans either, maybe for the H100

Thats true, will have to wait and see what reviews say. If they have good enough fans than I would keep the stock ones.

Delta6326,

Good looking build, but I would save some money and go with 2600K or 2500K.

I guess you are planning on removing the optical drive bay since there's not one one on your list, and you're going to mount the H100 up top.

A lot of games require their media in the drive to run. How does one get around that?

Dimi · May 26, 2012

I don't have any games that require media, i don't buy games on dvd. I only buy games on steam & origin. My steam & origin folder is like 406 gb lol.

You still have CD's? :wtf:

I seriously haven't used a CD for years. Haven't missed it since :toast:

MBA doesn't have a cdrom, I took the cdrom out of my Sager, mailed it home. With steam, why do they even sell games on dvd anymore? Actually, where would you buy such games these days? :eek:

Delta6326 · May 26, 2012

I will be using Steam.

But if I do need to use a DVD for something I will use a external drive.

When/if I get this it won't be till later this year as I'm waiting for a specific games, pCars and Borderlands 2.

Yeah, except it's not made from aluminium and the handles are actually flexible, not solid bits of metal... Sure, it looks a bit like an Apple design, but if they can sue for this... then we might as well just stop the world and go back to the dark ages.

plus, Lian Li design predates apple. :pimp:

Delta6326 · May 27, 2012

First review I have seen and this thing ROCKS!
