BitFenix Prodigy M review
One of the best compact cases you can buy, and very reasonably priced, too
If you want to fit a powerful graphics card, you have a little over 320mm of space to work with, which is enough for monstrous models such as an AMD Radeon R9 290. Although constructing a system in this small chassis is a little more involved than it can be in larger cases, the case’s layout lends itself to neatness and clear airflow. The case comes fitted with 120mm fans at the top and bottom, and has space for up to three more, as well as optional fittings for larger fans. There are two USB3 ports on the right side panel, along with the usual audio ports.
The Prodigy M is eye-catching without being ugly, easy to work in and surprisingly quiet in use, despite being fairly well ventilated. We love its looks, convenience and price, making it a Best Buy compact case.
