BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Chassis Review

Even though the Prodigy is smaller than a standard chassis, the packaging has the same BitFenix theme that we have seen throughout their range.

As we'd expect, the chassis is protected by two Styrofoam blocks, as well as a plastic wrap.

After taking the product out we found the Quick Installation Guide at the bottom of the box. This is fairly in-depth and covers everything except how to install the motherboard.

Of course, there are a selection of screws and other mounting brackets included.

  1. The white looks much nicer than the black IMO. good review, I like this case. would need a new motherboard however.

  2. Very stylish little case and I think people need to give Bitfenix some credit. when they first came out, their cases were badly flawed and since then they have adapted to fix problems based around user feedback. anti fingerprint material,. better build quality etc.

    This is an excellent little media case, i love the looks.

  3. Waiting for availability to buy one of these, cant wait. white rocks

  4. No one else see the similarities between these and the old coloured G4 business macintosh cases? almost identical, just reduced in size!

  5. The Prodigy should be an example of what not to do with an ITX board. I’ve seen fully featured M-ATX chassis smaller than this behemoth. BitFenix, try again.

  6. I have a question. The 230mm Fan in the front; is it possible to have both, the 230mm AND the 5.25in optical drive in this case? Maybe I did not read it in the review, but that sparked my interest for this case.

  7. well ive seen one and tink its a piece of trash too big bad plastic , not so good ventilation and cmon miniitx??? 1 pcix for graphics , im i suposed to buy a motherboard for what 100$ and then have only 1 pcie16 sure .. forget all the rest sound card sli and so on

  8. i bought one today. the guy in the shop opened up the package to show me it, and it was damaged. the top plastic bits had come loose from the main chassis. i bought it from him discounted.. now ive spent a while assembling my NAS box into it. its one of the nicest cases ive used (and there have been a few). and i didnt get cut at all. it is very high standard & well engineered, just couldve made the top & bottom plastics slightly less flexable. Also this being ITX, god knows what sort of PSU you’ll fit in here + power up 8 drives…
