BitFenix BFC-PRO-300-RRXKR-RP - Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Red

Wow, this is an exceptionally well designed and flexible case. I'm not sure you could get one with more options in the ITX format, nearly all bases are covered.1) Watercool? No problem! Throw in up to 2 240mm radiators!2) Gaming rig? No problem! Throw nearly all the largest graphics cards available today.3) Huge air cooled heat sink? No problem. There is space to install almost all sizes thanks to the extra height the layout gives.4) File server? No problem! Up to 5 3.5 inch disks in standard layout, or repurpose the 5.25 inch bay for another. With 2.5 inch drives doubled up caddies and using all the mounting slots I count 13 spaces not including the 5.25 inch drive!5) System stored in a cupboard? No problem! A massive 230mm fan can be installed in the front, two can fit in the top and on in the back to force as much air through as possible, keeping things nice and cool.6) 'Normal' system? No problem, plenty of room for a standard setup.Other cool features like the PSU having it's own compartment is also a great touch for managing heat and air flow.** Cable management **One thing many cases, let alone ITX cases, suffer from is bad cable management. With this there is actually SPACE to tuck cables next to the PSU and handy guide channels to route things like the 24 pin lead and CPU power leads through. All things considered, this is the easiest case I've worked with, particularly with non-modular PSUs as the combination of small size and sensible layout means you can tuck cables into well designed space and route even short cables easily thanks to the compact dimensions.** Air flow **There are so many options here. Suffice to say I have mine in a desk cupboard thing with rubbish airflow. It still runs cool thanks to the number of fans you can put in to force air through.The supplied fans are totally silent. As it even the wind noise is absolutely minimal. My 3.5 inch drives are by FAR the loudest things in the case and with the cupboard door shut I really only hear the vibration they cause.The feet ensure great airflow to the PSU too, a nice bonus if you're on carpet as many systems with their tiny feet do not deal well with carpet.** Build Quality/ Style **It's not the best ever build quality (Fractal Design Define XL takes the title for what I've worked with) but it's not far off and I love it. The MacPro styling is great and the handles make carrying easy. Overall it's a really slick looking case that you carry about easily and fit a lot of incredibly powerful hardware in.** A Niggling annoyance **The 'front' IO is on the side. This is awkward to get to in many cases. Also, because it's on the side the power button and therefore the leads are installed on one of the removable sides. Taking the case apart needs extra care as a result. There are also two 2.5 inch slots in the side door for a couple of disks. Routing cables in there is a pain.** IN CONCLUSION **I'd absolutely be buying one of these again and recommending these for friends/family if their needs aligned. It's an absolutely superb combination of design layout, build quality and practicality. 10 stars!

This case is actually pretty amazing (i'll explain why only 1 afterwards) there is a lot you can move/take out and has space for 5 fans in total 2 x 120mms in the front and the same on the top, it is possible to put either a 120 or 140 in the back for the exhaust. The PSU bay is built with space either side and inside for the cables on a normal ATX PSU. You can remove one or both of the drive cages and it is possible to also remove the disc drive bay altogether. I was fitting this with an MSI 1060GTX AERO edition and being able to remove everything and build in only what i needed made this a really good case to build in.Reasons for the lack of 1 star comes literally because I have bought four other cases in my life... 3 Corsair and 2 bitfenix (including this one) and the quality of the bitfenix cases are adequate but not great. The screws seem a bit cheap in places and for a similar price I got the Corsair 380T which also supports a lot of fans but came with a controller. Most ITX motherboards have 2 fan connectors one for CPU and the other for case. This means by not adding in a controller your giving 5 potential fans with 1 possible connection... Only reason I bought this to replace said 380T was because an idiot broke the panel and this was easier than getting a replacement.Back to the positives though its small, light, multi options, lots of space but lacking a little in quality for the price.

good case for mini itx builds i have 2 in blue and orange modded with carbon fibre to give it the edge i was looking for . rear 140mm fan front i think it needs a big 230mm spectre front fan but the case only comes with a front and rear 120 mm in the case fitted . which do the job but not on a decent board and components you need air . as for the graphics drill outs on the side panel it gives plenty of air to a single gpu . room for a 240mm top rad but at the expense of losing a cd or blu ray player slot so it has options but not a bad case and i would recomend the case but not for bigger motheboard builds .there are plenty of reviews on youtube and they show all you need to know . plenty of airflow but wish they upgraded the fans to larger sizes built in . as it keeps the noise down quite a bit .the options are ofcourse limited but plenty of modding options available out there nd many ideas help this case really surpass others in some ways .but the limiting cramp compact size gives enough room for a hyper x 12 cooler with no issues and just enough room to slot things in place together .many people admire my particular case and mod but as it sits in most popular colours it comes in it is a nice case with no cheap parts inside it feels sturdy and has good lower airflow and space below it with a bottom rear air filter and a top dual 120 mm filter . with sliding clips to secure in place .big thumscrews to hand tighten or screw in place reall helps with cleaning out dust ,its just easier to use them for myself . so i use a screwdriver to tighten at the end of monthly maintenance but thats just me and i am just so anal about it the wife moans at the care i take when doing so . lol..my case arrived and was not what i ordered it was the nini atx not the mini itx .but im keeping it . and had a change of heart on returning it to to the seller .the picture on the side you click does not a!ways represent what you get so be careful contact the seller and make sure what you have matches the case as i do with every buy ! i check and check again. To be sure !as so many variations exist for this type of case buy carefully
