Ya, the Prodigy case is CRAZY BIG for a mini-ITX case. There are a variety of smaller micro-ATX cases (let alone mini-ITX cases). If there was a "Mini Prodigy" I'd consider it. I want a small mini-ITX case that looks like a shrunken Mac Pro for a Hackintosh project, but the BitFenix Prodigy is...

MUCH better face. The current face of the "stock" case is so fugly. Judging by that mod, it seems like it wouldn't take much of a manufacturing change for Silverstone to improve the look of the front of the case. (Then we could all stop whining about it. :) )

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha *snort*

I wish the Silverstone rep would chime in on this. Obviously there is demand for an SG05 in something other than black. Right now, at least in North America, the SG05 is like the Model T Ford -- any color you want, as long as it's black. :)

Why is it whenever I hear "cougar fan" I think about Jennifer Anniston? ;)

Huh. Seems like if they upgraded the SG05 white model to USB 3.0 then they must still be selling it...?

I'm hoping someone from Silverstone can chime in here. :) I noticed on the Silverstone web site that there is a model number for a white SG05 with USB3. The model number is SST-SG05W-USB3.0. A Google shopping search turns up no vendors. Is this a real product?

@encode Where did you get that black I/O shield? (At least, it looks black in your photos, or maybe dark gray, perhaps a trick of the light?). Anyway, I've never seen one like that before. Did it come with the motherboard? Thx! BTW, very nice build. Looking to do something similar myself someday...

Wow, at 2403x2448 I think you just crushed everyone out there with a 56k modem with one blow. :)

That's cool, although it will be hard to shove a micro atx board into this mini-itx case. :D But srsly it would be nice if BitFenix made a micro-ATX version that was just a skoshe bigger.

...which is interesting since the mini-ITX BitFenix Prodigy is also larger than the micro-ATX Fractal Design Core 1000 in width and height and about the same in depth (Prodigy handles take up space). The Prodigy is also close in size to the Lian Li PC-V354. The Prodigy is a nice case but it's...

Nice work! Agreed. I've had to cut metal on every Lian Li case I've owned (3 cases in 7 years) for one reason or another, most recently I cut the drive cage in half in my PC-V354.

^^^ I agree with this. :) If anyone from SilverStone is reading this thread, it's clear that we want to love this case for many practical reasons, but the aesthetics of the case just don't do it for us. The fact that people are actually redesigning the case and posting the designs in this...

And in the UK there's a company called Asda which is Walmart's UK subsidiary.

Good point, hadn't thought that some folks might put this small case under their desk. I like your idea of a way to optionally re-route the cables from the top out the bottom, or just route them out the top. To me, this is the kind of case you put on your desk so people can admire it, not hide...
