Bitfenix Prodigy Build

[Clocker]

Hi Guys-

I am thinking about building a system using the Bitfenix Prodigy mini-ITX case. I'm thinking a Z77 motherboard with a i3570k CPU. Do you guys have any experience or recommendations when using this case?

Thanks,
Clocker

BTW, I am familiar with the recommendation to use a 140mm long PSU rather than a 150 or 160mm long one.

I built a system with the Prodigy two weeks ago. Don't be mistaken by the mini-ITX form factor of the motherboard : this enclosure is mid-tower size. It's easy to assemble a system inside it though. I had no issue except that the front (well, side) USB port connector was flaky. The internal USB 3.0 connector, I mean, is an horror in my book. The pins are too short and the connector doesn't hold very well. It's worse in case of a small enclosure because the wire leading to the connector is bent close to the connector, which leads to an increased pressure on the already unstable connector.
