Node 304 vs Prodigy?

[dylandylandylan]

Hey guys,

I'm building myself a smaller PC using the FX-8350 as a cheaper LAN PC so I don't have to lug my 500r around lol.

I was wondering what the opinions on both of these cases are, and I'd like to hear some insight from people that own it, there's only enough you can get from reviews etc!

I know cases are personal preference, but I like both of them equally, aesthetically.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks guys

What cases :D

 

Edit: Oh yeah I would say Prodigy nice handles.

I would go with the Node 304, it seems like a much nicer case in my opinion.

For LAN parties Prodigy. It's more portable.

Prodigy if you want to wc or save money. The node 304 imho looks so much better and is also smaller, than the prodigy.

Pretty sure there aren't motherboards for that chip in that for factor.

I wouldn't trust those handles ... and more portable? Afaik the Prodigy is larger ...

There are no mini-ITX AM3+ motherboards.

I would also like to suggest the NCASE M1 http://ncases.com which is a very sff computer case. Releaseing Jan 2014 for $205

No AM3+ boards?: I completely forgot about that, ah well, I've got a few i5-3570ks lying around so I'll just slot that in, I really wanted to use my fx-8350 in something! D:

They make the Prodigy M which is M-ATX  but there are no good M-ATX AM3+ motherboards either. Hopfully Asus, Gigabyte, or MSI will come out with a 990FX M-ATX board soon maybe even a Mini-ITX but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

COUGH* Asus is working on something COUGH*

I know they are it was in the Asus CES suite but wasn't it ATX.

Nono, I remember watching a video that wasn't Computex/CES stuff, JJ said they might be working on an ITX solution for AMD.

Prob for FM2 they don't have one for it yet and will likely be a AMD version of the p8z77i as the A10-6800k holds the worlds highest overclock.

I might just go for the AMD A10-5800k and a FM2 motherboard, after seeing my ex girlfriends build with that chip, I was pleasantly surprised, I think it will do fine, Guttered I can't use my 8350 though, I might save it for a future build, or until a motherboard comes out in that form factor that supports it.
