Do you think its a waste of money?

[nivra552]

I have an prodigy case and was thinking of buying a Corsair Air 240 case do you think its a good buy or a waste of money?

[Guest Kloaked]

I'd stay with the Prodigy case unless you're just wanting to rebuild your PC. I don't think the Air 240 would offer anything more to you.

[Bloodyvalley]

Why do you want to leave your prodigy behind?

[PC-NOOB]

It all boils down to looks.

Does your sexual arousal for the Air 240 warrant switching?

[nivra552]

Because it gets alot of dust inside the case and seeing the reviews it seems that the air 240 is dust proof?

No case is dust proof.

[nivra552]

Well I moded my case so that's why... The reason for it cause my gpu can't breath if I put its it's original side panel which is a windowed one

[Trik'Stari]

Seems like a nice case to me (the air 240 that is)

[Dimwitted]

Ok, I'll bite. Where the hell is your GPU?

[fRodzet]

The Air 240 would be a fine alternative to your Prodigy.

 

It has the potential to leave a better airflow in the case, but by how much a margin, i cannot tell.

this... i want that side panel.. do you have a thread on how you made it?

THis was my setup before I sold my R9-290 tri x hoping that the 900 series would be good buy for me...

Sorry I dont have any...If you were near where I would have just given it to you since I would be changing to air 240

I have mixed feelings on the Air 240, I like the second chamber design far more on the 240, as well as the magnetic filter for that panels ventilation. But the filter for the main chamber are worthless and just increase air restriction due to their much different (To the side filter) design. You could probably buy some Demciflex filters that meet the right dimensions, but that would increase costs noticeably.

 

 

As for the dust issue with your Prodigy, Demciflex has you covered, at half the cost of a new Air 240. Combine high quality filters and positive airflow and you'll be good.

i think part of the issue is that slapping a dust filter on a completely clear side panel ruins the asthetic..

Hmm... did you just get plexi glass and dremel holes in it?

Unfortunately I'm from the Philippines and I haven't seen anyone selling those and it would really destroy the aesthetics..could you recommend me another alternative for the air 240? was also thinking of a 250D but I think its too cramped space

They're actually pretty close to being the same size. Though it is slightly smaller. The 250D is probably the most spacious ITX case you can buy. It also has good filters all the way around, unlike the Air 240.

 

No case I would buy personally, and as such no case I would recommend, is more spacious, user friendly and cooling friendly (Though CPU coolers are very height restricted) than the 250D. Just use the 80mm mounts as passive exhausts and use the 140+120mm mounts as intake.

 

Also there isn't such a thing as dust proof, a lot of reviews have a habit of saying that. It annoys me every single time. Dust resistant would be more correct.

So you really think that the 250D is better than the air 240? I liked more the air 240 because of the window cause its big..But I got your point and now im confused on what to buy...ehehe

[MourningSouls]

Design wise, I like them the same. The 250D is bigger than an ITX case should be, and the 240 is slightly smaller than I think an mATX should be. And as the issue with your Prodigy is dust, I do believe the 250D to be superior.

 

Also, I just looked at your first picture, flip the top fans around. The issue with negative pressure is that it forces air to come in though places it wasn't meant to come from. And the top of a Prodigy has a decent enough filter.
