Guys, how many 3.5" HDDs can be accommodate into the Phenom M? As what I see the max would be only 2. I am thinking to get Phenom M today.

Thank you, but I am settled with Prodigy M instead, bought from Ideal Tech outlet last week. It is nice and simple, purchased together with side windows. Removed the 2.5" vertical bay as it obstruct the to the internal view. I am thinking to give it some modification, to shift the 2.5" vertical to front (beside the PSU) as I need my 2 SSDs to be hang up there and 1 HDD at the floor of the case.

It is mATX, and according to the youtube, window panel for mITX is little higher compare to mATX which is located lower, must be to view to where the mobo is. Currenty I am using MSI B85M-G43, the 2.5" vertical drive bay is located at the right side, it would be much nicer if we can do something to relocate it to the left side, just to cover the PSU and exposing the mobo.

I don't know if this is consider a good price to all, RM350 + window side panel bought from IdealTech.

Prodigy M users, how do you all fit the top fans, air inward or outward? I am using the MSI Twin Frozr GC, I am afraid if pushing the air outward, the air flow will conflicted between these 2 fans. Putting inward likely inviting more dust, but the GPU's temperature improved to below 40°C as opposed to others at more than that.

I believe it is yes, according to the review. Currently I am using the black prodigy m and due to the mesh for air flow, the PSU fan is a bit loud especially when using the PC at late night.

definitely for intake, and the PSU will blow it out at the bottom.

I am getting real in love with my Prodigy M, now ppl is going to smaller either mATX or ITX size. I dumped my CM Storm Scout and now is about collecting dust under a bed.

Prodigy M give us much wider than normal casing, definitely I feel the inner space is much spacious and cable management is much easier to manage.

I am one of them, already liked the tech critter and bitfenix malaysia as well.

Comparing Prodigy M and Phenom M, how to read the size between these 2
Dimensions (WxHxD) 250 x 404 x 359mm for Prodigy M and Dimensions (WxHxD) 250 x 330 x 374mm for Phenom. W is for width, H is for height and what D is representing at? noob as usual

I see, in other word we call it as length, is it?

I wonder if side Prodigy M side panel with large acrylic windows already in our local market now.

Feeling a bit regret for not taking Phenom M instead of Prodigy M

I am suggesting that Phenom M outlook is much more solid and sexier, and my Current Prodigy is wobbling that I feel cheap

lol, I did some minor drilling here and there and don't think I am doing fair to exchange it.

What's happen to your Phenom actually?

whoaa.... lucky you, I just waiting a good time to order Phenom M to replace my current Prodigy M

The good time is when I have sufficient fund to make the order, swap won't take place as I am still going to use it for my 2nd PC in the room.

btw, clem, is there any news from the distri the availability of side panel with large acrylic window?

really hope the new side panel with larger window will be in as well. The current side panel is so small and we don't have good view inside.

I am using Prodigy M, bought together with it the side panel with window (but the window is small). Anyway, I just mod the side panel w/o window and cut it and now I have a large window. Luckily I have tools and acrylic clear sheet around.

well, this is my side case to be mod into larger acrylic window. Using the 3mm clear acrylic, heavy duty foam type double sided tape and cutter. Dremel also can do the cutting but not as clean as the the jigsaw tool.

At the back the original window type which I bought together with the case, small window at half size or more from the whole panel.





Actually I've done with case mod itself, just don't like the inverted board design. Now this is what does it look like
