Gotta spend the money before June 30 :cool:

After usually buying fairly cheap cases, I highly recommend this one for ease of use and cable management!

Old build (AKA "do you even boot, bro?")

New build (AKA "what cables?"!!!):

I actually went down to a Mini-ITX motherboard this time around, mostly so that I could utilise the fantastic BitFenix Prodigy case.

Sure, it takes up nearly as much space as the mid-size tower it replaces, but the interior design is spectacular, and if you aren't planning on SLI/CrossFire, there isn't much need for a full ATX motherboard these days.

Yeah, that Phantom is a great case.

I did the same, and I really love the case. It's great to just pick up and take along when we do Minecraft/Borderlands LANs at my friend's place.

I do have to say though that PSU fit can be an issue if you want something in a high-wattage output. I wanted 800+watts and getting the shortest PSU I could find that delivered that at a reasonable price, I still had to put some PCB risers between the case and the PSU mounting plate -- this arrangement is mostly fine, though. It's sturdy enough and only sticks out a half inch or so. Also, one could totally get away with something in the 500-600watt range for even a high-end mITX/single-GPU setup. I just wanted overhead available in case I wanted to upgrate to a 295x or similar in the future.

My PC ended up pretty cramped even with good routing of standard cables though, but that's mostly because I have all the intakes/outtakes populated with the largest fans the'll take, as well as that h220 closed loop cooler. I might make it a project to custom fit the cables and cooler tubing though. I didn't take the time to do that before.
