After removing the side panels which are held in place via dual thumbscrews, we can glance inside. Some will recognise some key similarities between Prodigy and other BitFenix cases. Storage is an element which dominates this chassis and you can see why the case is the size it is.
Housing Mini-ITX motherboards Prodigy’s motherboard tray will be orientated in a flat surface – just like on a test bench, gravity will not be a negative factor which has to work in BitFenix’ favour.
Inside the Prodigy
HDD storage is a key element
The PSU area is found at the bottom of Prodigy and accommodates ATX PSUs up to 160mm. Due to the orientation and cut-outs on the PSU cage, the PSU can be positioned in variety of directions. Inside the cage are 4x rubber mounts to prevent scratching and vibration.
The PSU area
Most Mini-ITX motherboards have only a single PCI-E slot, and so Prodigy has dual PCI-Express slots. The covers have perforated mesh for ventilation (if you choose not to include a graphics card) and thumbscrews for easy removal.
