Zitat: The Phenom is an intriguing take on the original Prodigy design that is clearly designed to do several things; do away with the Prodigy´s features that many found irritating, and create a more refined and style-conscious case. Throw in a bit of noise reduction and you have a fairly attractive case for housing a mid-range PC. However, that style does come at the expense of cooling, which is where the Phenom loses most of its points and why it loses out on an award. As such, we´d certainly advise caution if you plan on installing anything other than a mildly overclocked CPU and mid-range graphics card. Unless you plan to use an all-in-one liquid cooler or full-on water cooling, of course, although as our test cooler is fairly lowly too, even a decent tower cooler should be able to reign in most overclocks on an Intel K-series CPU. Click to enlarge The mini-ITX version of the Phenom is certainly well-featured and customisable too, but the poor front ventilation means that mounting radiators here is probably a no-no, or at least you´d see significantly better results mounting it in the roof, or indeed if you opted for a Prodigy instead. Looks-wise, though, the Phenom wins hands down and the white sample we received is particularly unique-looking. However, we´d be more than a little interested to hear what BitFenix has in store by way of add-ons given that the front panel still clips on - perhaps a vented version in different colours with a 5.25in cut-out? In any event, if you´re torn between the Phenom and Prodigy then BitFenix has yet another case in store, again available in mini-ITX and micro-ATX versions and using a similar layout. The Colossus M appears to have both the airflow and water-cooling prowess of the Prodigy and the more refined looks of the Phenom. We´ll be taking a look at it very soon.
