I have had the Corsair 250D on order (not from Overclockers sorry :P) since before the 14th of February which was when it was first set to come in stock. However since then the data changed to the 19th of February then to the 25th of February (yesterday) however yet again it is showing "Item overdue since 25 February 2014." Which shows how it will be delayed again (I know this is not the shops fault so I am definitely not blaming them). I have been waiting for ages and am considering canceling my order and going for a Blue (my colour scheme) Bitfenix Prodigy with a mesh front panel instead. The reason I am eager to get a new case is because I have have the h100i sitting around still in its box since the 14th of February and I cant wait to get it up and running. Also I cannot wait to upgrade to a case that has good airflow (Bitfenix Prodigy or Corsair 250D) unlike my current case (CM Elite 120 Advanced)

What should I do? I can either wait it out and get the Corsair 250D (However I do not know how long that could take) or I could cancel that order and buy the Prodigy.
 
Personally I would either wait it out for the 250d or depending if you've already got parts aside from the h100i upgrade slightly to the 350d. If you haven't noticed I love the aesthetics of the corsiar obsidian cases.

If you've already got the gear and still got itchy feet for a build and don't want to jump up to the 350d then the prodigy is the way to go.

I already have everything in the CM Elite 120 Advanced and I love the look of the 250D and obsidian cases also. However I also like the look of the Prodigy. This is what a would buy (if I went for the prodigy):

YOUR BASKET
1 x BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Aqua Blue £69.95
1 x BitFenix Spectre 230mm Fan Blue LED - black £14.99
1 x BitFenix Mesh Front Panel for Prodigy Case - Black/Silver £12.98
1 x BitFenix Spectre 140mm Fan Blue LED - black £9.98
Total : £119.60 (includes shipping : £9.75).



Also I will probably wait until the 1-2nd of march and if it is not in stock by then I will go with the Prodigy

Probably the best idea, I remember waiting out for the Rampage Black Edition board and that constantly extended the arrival date. But once it arrived I knew I wasn't disappointed. You'll also avoid the risk of getting the 250d when it comes out having already bought the prodigy.
 
Tbh the Prodigy is a big mini-itx case, it's more like a micro-atx case supporting mini-ITX. I'm guessing you want mini-ITX?
