Parvum systems vs Prodigy M

I decided to downsize my case since its too big and go for a micro atx build. Which is more compact and has a bigger build?

Edit: it needs to fit an h100 and use an atx psu

I do like the look of the parvum case, one thing that really worries me is that its made of acrylic therefore really easy to damage? but i guess it can be painted over right?

I can't recommend the Parvum case highly enough. They're so beautiful, a pleasure to work with, and the guys at Parvum are always happy to help if you run into difficulties. And they're so freaking beautiful.

The acrylic is perfectly sturdy. I'm not sure what you would have to do to damage it that wouldn't also damage a Prodigy. And because the case comes in pieces, if you do damage part of it you can just have that panel replaced rather than buying a whole new case.

just looked at your parvum build i must say it looks nice, i was wondering should i mount my h100 at the front taking cool air into the case or mount it at the top exhausting the air out?

In theory, having the h100 as an intake would give better CPU temps as the radiator is getting cooler air. On the down side, you'd get better air flow with normal fans as intake and the h100 as exhaust.

I'm not sure it really makes much difference in practice. I put mine in the front because I thought it looked better.

ah nice, my parts should be here soon ill put up some pictures when its done,
