So I am looking for a good replacement case for the Bitfenix Prodigy, mainly because I'm bored with it and over its design, also due to it's "handles"/"feet" is much bigger than it needs to be.

My only real requirements are:

  • Same size or smaller than the Prodigy (250 x 404 x 359mm)
  • Room for 120mm Radiator in P&P (Room for a future upgrade to 240mm P&P Radiator is nice but not required)
  • Good possibilities for cooling
  • 5.25" bay is optional, will be used for fan controller if it's possible
  • Not crazy expensive

Current hardware specs: 

  • Intel Core i7 3770K
  • Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI mITX
  • ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DCUII 2GB
  • Corsair Vengance LP 8GB (2x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz
  • Corsair CX 500M - 500W
  • Corsair H70 P&P

Fans used atm: 3x Corsair AF120 LED Quiet Edition 1x Corsair SP120 Queit Edition

Design wise I'm looking for something clean, preferably black and simplistic. No spaceships. (Gotta be stylish enough for the girl friend to accept it!)


Any suggestions? Personal experience is preferred! (Throw in some awesome build pics to show how functional and awesome your cases are)

They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinkin' alone...

BitFenix Prodigy Black / Intel Core i7 3770K / Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI mITX / ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DCUII 2GB / Corsair Vengance LP 8GB (2x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz / Corsair SF600 - 600W  / Corsair H70 Push Pull

Can't remember the exact price, but the NCASE M1 is something you might want to take a look at.

NCase M1 looks like a good bet.

The Ncase is something I've looked at before but it would require me to buy a new GPU or a new PSU at the same time and the Ncase being $240.00 w/ shipping which is a bit too hefty for my student wallet.

The Thermaltake Core V1 looks pretty Sweet but it seems like I'd have to get a shorter GPU. :(

In that case the Core V21 is the better choice, it's basically the same thing but bigger.
