Any photos of it where we can actually... see it as a whole?

Ah, this is the case I was intrigued about, where does the PSU go? in the bit underneath?

looks awesome

edit - now bring out a white and orange one!!

King Damager · 2 Feb 2012 at 18:47

Am I right in thinking that it can take 360mm from what I can see...

Looks sweet. Really like the handles.

Would love to see some really good dust filters on it. Not the rubbish mesh type that the shinobi came with

Nice design, but looks a bit large for an itx case.

If it could be juggled around to fit a matx board in the same volume, then I'd be a little more interested. Besides itx is out of the question for me until there are decent internal sound solutions.

Nice to see some more SFF case! I love it

Toooooooooooo big. Its about the size of an mATX case but for ITX? pfft.

Stripes · 2 Feb 2012 at 21:38

I don't have a mITX system so won't be getting one, but if I did and needed mobility esp. to LANs the Prodigy would be pretty damn high on my list of potential cases.

Nice work BitFenix, looking forward to seeing more.

Nice one! If thers an itx board that can be picked up for buttons. Would be ok for like a holiday with the family- Where they consist of down at the beach. I can game ;D

In fact by the looks of it an SG03 looks slightly smaller. I mean hell if you want an ITX case with a handle a Lian li TU200 is way smaller than this and that is a big ITX case.

beejjacobs · 2 Feb 2012 at 22:05

Isnt the idea that you could get a H100 or small WC loop in here? So it's not meant to be the smallest it can. Also that Lian Li looks worse IMO because of the handle.

Yeah but no current ITX board can clock past 4.5GHz and that is only if you are really lucky in which case an H60 is more than enough and if you had an SG03 (or SG04-FH if you MUST have handles) then you could fit an H100 AND have an mATX board that could push a CPU to the level where such a thing is required.

Good luck fitting a 240 dual rad into the SG03 or the TU200 I guess?

Edit I meant to say 240 :S

Not in the TU200 but definitely in the SG03 also see above for an ITX rig it is pointless unless you are cooling your GPU but still I would take a stronger mobo over a watercooled GPU, and this coming from a stoic ITX gamer.
