This review is from: BitFenix Prodigy BFC-PRO-300-OOXKO-RP Atomic Orange Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case
Pros:
Fist off this thing is super modular. Second the reason i bought it was looks its kinda cute but its small. Looks like a a mac kinda but smaller.
It is bigger then i thought it would be and i was just going to run my 128Gb SSD and 1TB WD Black but now have 1ssd & 3x 1TB WD Black and still have room for 1 more HDD and the DVD drive.
you can water cool the heck out this thing just Google the case and you will see the white one with 2 monster radiators.
I am using i5 3570K with a Corsair H60.
In my old Case a Thermal intake Armor II its huge like a full size case 11 5 1/4 bays. Hence i am down sizing. o and 7 HDD and 1 DVD drive
My temps at idle would get down to the 20's and maybe to 50's on load never saw 60.
Had 2 120mm fans on the radiator on the rear, a 250mm fan on the side door, 1 front 120mm, 1 top 90mm. 1 rear 90mm.
Now in this case I just have 1 120mm on the radiator mounted on the top and 1 120mm in the front. Board only has 2 fan connects those are on the pump and radiator fan.
So now at idle maybe in the 30's and 40's and 60's under load i know less air flow and and smaller case. I am trying to go silent as my PC is next to my bed.
Its quieter then before. Need to order some fan adaptors and try a 230mm fan maybe just playing around trying to be silent and get temps down.
But over all awesome combustibility. Lots of options and small form factor I plan on buying 2 more of these one for a NAS and one for my daughter
Cons:
Not a Con on the case but Newegg is out of stock on almost everything from BitFenix.
Like i been looking at these cases for months and the only one they have had in stock is this one the orange one so good luck on finding another color even though it comes in red, black, and white too.
Accessories like the 230mm Fan and such is out of stock so going to have took around they also have cable sleeves i don't see on newegg.
not realy a con this is a ITX case but my Power supply is a 750 watt OCZ full modular and hangs a quarter out the back its 6.9 deep according to newegg and i can confirm its too big looking for a smaller one around 500 watts and prefer fanless
Overall Review:
Buy the case if u just want to down size or you something on the small ITX size but have plenty of room to expand its a awesome case and will buy 2 ore of them.
