BitFenix Prodigy M Review
IntroductionÂ
The Prodigy case has been a success since it’s release back in 2012. Over the last 18 months or so BitFenix have continued to refresh the line adding the option of windowed side panels and more colour options than you can shake a paint mixing stick at. What the case has always lacked though is the ability to house the larger, and often cheaper M-ATX motherboards.  It didn’t take long for the modding community being the innovators they are to recognise the potential and set about transforming many a Mini-ITX Prodigy o accept the M-ATX board. Perhaps it was always on the cards, or perhaps it was in response to the desire of the community to have native M-ATX support, either way BitFenix have played a blinder and released the Prodigy M, Same exterior as the original M-ITX version but with M-ATX internals.
