BitFenix Unleashes The Prodigy mini-ITX PC Case
BitFenix today launched its latest PC case creation – Prodigy. The first mini-ITX chassis designed with enthusiasts in mind, Prodigy is set to turn the mini-ITX chassis market on its head. With support for long graphics cards, tower coolers, and even watercooling radiators.
Prodigy offers unparalleled flexibility in a compact Mini-ITX form factor. The BitFenix Prodigy is also affordable, with pricing set at 69 in the EU and $79 in North America. Bitfenix expects to have the Prodigy available on store shelves in June 2012. Here is a video tour of the Prodigy.
This BitFenix Prodigy looks great and the only thing we see that looks like it might be troublesome is that the front I/O panel is on the right side of the case and not the front or the top. Other than that it looks great and we love how you can fit two 240mm radiators in this small mini-ITX case! We had a tough time fitting one 140mm radiator in our mini-ITX SFF build that we completed earlier this month. It looks like mini-ITX systems are becoming more popular and with cases like this and motherboards like the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe it is no wonder why.
Designed by BitFenix from the ground up, Prodigy embodies everything BitFenix robust functionality, revolutionary new materials, and timeless design. The subtle curves and clean lines on the outside speak the same BitFenix design language that has catapulted BitFenix into the hearts of enthusiasts everywhere. The chassis is suspended by two handles on the top and bottom that are crafted with BitFenix FyberFlex Composite a revolutionary new material that is very flexible yet offers incredible strength. These handles, coated in our SofTouch Surface Treatment, are not only a convenient way to carry Prodigy, but are also an extra level of shock protection during transport. Two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports are provided on the outside for fast file transfers, while the brushed aluminum BitFenix logo on the front ties the entire design together. Available in Midnight Black or Arctic White, Prodigy is not just a PC case, but a work of art. Sliding off the side panel reveals the Prodigy’s true talents. The modular BitFenix FlexCage houses up to five 3.5″ HDDs or 2.5″ SSDs, making Prodigy an ideal candidate for a home server, HTPC or NAS. Remove the middle portion of the FlexCage, and Prodigy can accommodate long graphics cards up to 320mm in length, making it ideal for a pint-sized gaming powerhouse. Need even more power? Remove FlexCage and the ODD bay all together to make room for a thick 240mm water cooling radiator. Prodigy accommodates standard ATX power supplies, and a specially designed side SSD mounting bracket that enables users to install up to five SSDs, even with the FlexCage completely removed! Featuring multiple installation options, Prodigy is the most flexible mini-ITX chassis on the market, bar none.
