Choosing a great case when building a computer is a tough decision, as you have to consider size, features, aesthetics. It's tough to find one solution that fulfills every need. The BitFenix Prodigy manages to pull it off.
When I first built my hack mini, I stuck it in a diminutive Mini ITX case. The case came with an integrated power supply which died about a month ago and I had to quickly find a replacement. Fortunately, the BitFenix Prodigy recently came to market and I was pretty impressed by the specifications. Not only is the case beautiful, but it offers a ton of space and features that you normally wouldn't find in a Mini ITX form-factor. It offers room for five hard drives, an optical drive, a large graphics card, two PCI slots, and frontside USB 3.0. While it's a bit larger than your average Mini ITX case?you won't fit it in a slim media cabinet?it's still rather compact. The case sounded perfect so I called around until I found one about an hour drive away and immediately hopped in the car to get it.
I spent the rest of my afternoon transferring my hack mini into the BitFenix Prodigy. While the case wasn't quite as intuitive as I'd hoped, I only needed to consult the manual once to figure out how to safely remove the front panel to install the optical drive. Everything else was incredibly straightforward, and I was able to add a spare hard drive and a better optical drive now that I had the extra space. The interior made this all very easy because of how it's organized, and because of a number of special compartments I had no trouble managing cables. If you don't need a tiny form-factor, this is the case you should get for your next Mini-ITX build. It's fantastic, comes in both black and white, and is well worth the $80.
