CONCLUSION

   I'm not really into HTPC/mini-ITX cases and I’ve said that time and again both when talking with friends but also in quite a few of my reviews, however thanks to its design, spacious interior, room for up to 5x3.5"/2x2.5" (2x3.5"/2x2.5" if you use a long graphics card) and the quite impressive cooling potential (240mm top radiator space/230mm front fan) the BitFenix Prodigy is currently the only such PC Case I’d use when building a primary/secondary system. There are certainly some limitations such as only 2 PCI expansion slots and the limited cable management you can do but the same exact drawbacks apply for every mini-ITX PC Case out there so these are mostly taken as something granted when you purchase such a product.

   Right from day one BitFenix has aimed to manufacture cost-effective products aimed towards casual users and gamers who can't afford to spend their entire salary to purchase a good PC Case and with a current price set at around USD80 inside the USA and around 80Euros inside the EU (Overclockers.co.uk) the Prodigy Mini-ITX PC Case is a very good example of that. It's not the perfect mini-ITX PC Case and there are quite a few out there featuring better overall build quality but lack most of its features (most noticeably the 240mm radiator/230mm fan spaces) and cost a lot more so in the end the Prodigy offers the best bang for your buck and that's why it receives our Golden Award.
