The Node 804 will allow for better cooling if his motherboard supports 5-slot CrossFireX (one space between the GPUs). If not, there will be much less of a difference between the two cases, but the Node will still be better. Why not an Arc Mini R2 or 350D?

Both are going to produce a ton of heat, with only 4 expansion slots the cards are going to be right on top of each other. 

 

Overall, I think the Node 804 has more breathing room and has by far a better build quality.

 

EDIT: Ignore my post, I assumed that the Node 804 had 4 expansion slots when it actually has five.

I have the Prodigy M and my advice is ANYTHING BESIDES THE PRODIGY M. You need custom cut cables and everything is just a pain to fit in
