I wouldn't suggest the Prodigy mainly it's huge for a mini-ITX casing.
A Silverstone TJ08-E has around the same dimensions, but since this is a mATX case, you have far greater ability to upgrade and expand.
Oh, I think you can move your current parts into the TJ08-E.

tj08-e again can't deny, it's a great casing

If you want mini-ITX, go for SG05/SG08 or those Lian Li cases.

i once get my hands on the prodigy with all the hardware ready, end up i switch back to mid tower and then now full tower

i also had a rig with tj08-e, sold to a nice forumer from penang i can say the size is almost the same with the prodigy, make sure it's not a short excitement to jump to prodigy , think twice

what makes u change ur mind?

sifus, can help me setting up for bitfenix prodigy? budget around 2k++ with lcd. what mobo shud i use? and HD7850 shud be included.
thanks!

to be honest, if ur budget rm2k++ is around rm2k u talking about, it's kinda impossible to have such build with ur required spec, unless u want amd apu , maybe it's possible

considering u want an intel rig,

asus p8h77-i rm399 (the cheapest 1155 itx i can find, maybe there is others, i can't find)
sapphire hd 7850 rm730
bitfenix prodidy rm269
monitor rm350+/-

total rm1748 just for these 4 items in the build

dear TS,

how about if my budget si around rm1.2 k and i want to build desktop for normal gaming usage and web browsing. the budget is firm for the CPU components and casing only, not including monitor, speaker and kb.

thanks in advance.

btw, for the processor budget of rm 3XX, should i get AMD or i3?

get i3

here's one

intel core i3 2100 rm339 / intel pentium g630 rm179
MSI H61M-P31 B3 rm149
kingston value 4gb rm62
sapphire hd7770 rm439
wd blue 500gb rm184
liteon dvd-rw rm59
fsp hexa 400w rm129
gigabyte gz series rm59

total rm1420/1260 (prices are from viewnet kl, u may have limited choices or more expensive parts buying in east malaysia)

hi guys.
suggest me a rig (RM1.8k) not include monitor,hdd,keyboard n mouse

hey bro, where's the sapphire 7970 ? hehe

what's the purpose for tis 1.8k rig? hehe

Gigabyte HD5570 1GB DDR3
WD 500GB
WD 1TB
Maxtor 160GB
Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500w
Power Logic Modena X2200

I've been wanting to upgrade this rig for a while. Setting aside 1.5k as my budget.

Can you sifus please recommend what to upgrade and what can I salvage from this current rig.

Thank you in advance.

what kind of multimedia?

what kind of improvement u wanna get from the upgrade?

More towards gaming actually. Lesser spike. Lesser lag. Better GPU and wanna change mobo and proc as well.

watching movie,pic editing

u can consider

intel core i5 3450 rm564
msi b75ma-p45 rm224
sapphire hd 7850 rm749
fsp hexa 500w rm149

total rm1686 a bit over budget, maybe no need change proc and mobo, just gpu and psu

how about

intel core i5 3450 rm564
msi b75ma-p45 rm224
kingston value 4gb x2 rm124
sapphire hd 7850 rm749
fsp hexa 500w rm149

total rm1810 all prices from viewnet

yeah? hmm maybe i shud increase my budget a lil bit haha. okay, let say without monitor. can i get it around 2k+? what shud i consider if using ssf casing like this? any disadvantages of ssf casing?

Very limited choices of mobo , also more expensive compare to similar features to other mobo , only one pcie slot , very limited upgrade potential . If u look at the size of the prodigy , it's not that small compare to other itx casing , it's more like a m-atx casing like silverstone tj08-e
