[GeTecknics]

hey everyone so i was shopping around ncix and newegg today about to order my case for my lan pc i decided to mini itx as apposed to full atx as i thought earlier and saw a couple interesting cases im really likeing the prodigy as im sure everyone does and the node 304 i wanted some other opinions on what everyone thinks is the best itx case i really like the prodigy although i feel like it has a lot of wasted space if anybody has any suggestions that would be great

If you're going to a lot of LAN parties, definitely go for the Bitfenix Prodigy. It's incredibly easy to carry around yet houses heaps of high end equipment. The Prodigy M (Micro ATX version) is coming out soon, so you might want to check that out if you want a Micro ATX board in something that is the same size.

The Prodigy is pretty big for an itx case and would not be ideal for LAN parties compared to other available options.

 

How about matx? You have more options that way. I've recommended several builds with the TX-381-C with noctua fans.

It's the case the newegg youtube crew uses for their portable editing rig: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154094

I don't think you can get better build quality than a CaseLabs S3... Prodigy is great, but like @WoodenMarker said, you might want to look at MATX.

prodigy m looks great and addresses all the problems i had with the prodigy but who knows when that will be out i havent seen much information about it yet 

[LolNope]

The Caselabs S3 is more of a watercooling ITX case, which wouldn't be ideal to move around for LAN parties. I'd suggest the Prodigy even if it is a bit big for an ITX case

I did my first Mini ITX build in a Prodigy, and I can say that other cases will probably give you the same performance. 

 

Sure the Prodigy gives you more room, but a lot of it will be rendered useless by large GPUs. Of course, you should probably go with something like a 760 instead of an Asus 770, as you will have to remove a HD cage and the drive bay mounting bracket.

 

As you can see, I speak from experience. My build was a nightmare, but now that it's done, I want to move on to something bigger.

awesome thanks for the reassurance guys going with prodigy gpu might be a little long so i will have to remove the top bays but doesnt it support alot of room 2 and half inch drives since the tops will have to be removed
