Looks fine to me, I love that monitor. Keep in mind that you wont be able to Crossfire with a miniatx.
also, check out this case instead, I've seen better reviews and it's cheaper. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B008RJQ0LE/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new (60$ if on Amazon Prime)

Edit: formatting

u/SlithyDash · 2 pointsr/gamingpc

You can still pretty it up on alien blue just need to use [Square Brackets on the text you want] and (parentheses on the link). Done with Alien Blue

Also if you don't mind waiting the Prodigy M (not currently sold) will fit both a micro atx and mini atx mobo, where as the former is only mini atx.

u/masturbating_lion · 2 pointsr/gamingpc

You could go for a BitFenix prodigy they do a variety of colours and I've heard nothing but good things.

link for reference, using alien blue so I can't neaten it up.

u/exaltare · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

It's not a great sale. I'll post any deals here.

EDIT: I'm done for now. I think my post got removed?

http://www.amazon.com/BitFenix-Mini-ITX-Without-Midnight-BFC-PRO-300-KKXSK-RP/dp/B008RJQ0LE I really like this one a lot,only down side is it's a little cramped..

u/bigceej · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I have this I have seen people get the white one, put a cool paint job on it and get the black cover because it is a grill. Then put some led fans and some led stips underneath (looks like neon on a car) and it looks really cool.

Plus it is a great case!

u/changchongchingy · 2 pointsr/htpc

I've used this case before...don't recall the powersupply I used though. Pretty cool looking, lots of space, screwless drive install.

The BitFenix Prodigy gives you handles to grab on to and a lot of people get it for its portability.

Edit: Here's one a little cheaper with a window.

Personally, I hate Newegg. Try Amazon, at least for the case if you have your heart set on this setup. Try returning something to Newegg and see what they charge in restocking fees.

BitFenix Mini-ITX Tower Case Without Power Supply, Midnight Black

Install a 64GB SSD for the OS and a 2TB HDD for data. Why use 2 1TB drives?

I can't help but keep looking at the Intel NUC. For that budget, I would rather have a i5 NUC and slam an extra HDD in your workstation and stream over the network.

I'm also a fan of Shuttle PC. Cut out the huge PSU, it has no place in the HTPC market. Any ITX case should have a small form PSU pre-installed.

Shuttle DS61 V1.1 LGA1155 Intel H61

or

SHUTTLE SH67H3

and

Intel Core i3-3220T

Use low power CPUs to keep the heat to a minimum.

My $0.02

I just built this:

Parts:

u/rycrat · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I have the Prodigy. Tiny case but the power supply airflow is isolated which is nice and ive removed all drive bays and simply used the SSD door bays.

u/RetardedChimpanzee · 1 pointr/computers

It's doable. Just depends on the case. I've seen it done serval times in this case. go to pcpartpicker and browse some builds.

u/HashSSLingingSlasher · 1 pointr/buildapc

What about the Bitfenix Prodigy? You'll have to remove some drive bays but it will fit your build.

u/ERIFNOMI · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hell you could do a NUC-class computer (like NUC, BRIX, ZBOX, etc.). That sounds like it might be enough for you and they're pretty tiny.

You could also get a small, easy to carry mITX case like the BitFenix Prodigy.

u/Shlappz · 1 pointr/buildapc

Maybe take the GPU out of the other pc and put it in the new one for college. You can save a few hundred bucks and put the money toward other components. Another thing I would do is get an mitx case because they are smaller and easier to transport. Then again, you could just take your other pc - I wouldn't worry about theft as long as you keep it in your dorm. Maybe get a case with a handle on top and use a bike lock to chain it to your desk for extra insurance. It's a little ghetto but it would probably work just fine.

EDIT: here's a nice case with handles

u/Jmaglioo · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I have both, and a laptop is nice if you are constantly going over a friend's house to play games or you just have to move it a lot. For my specific situation, I used to move my entire rig -PC, monitor, keyboard, everything- every Friday. That shit was really annoying.

That being said, moving an entire PC around isn't that hard, I had mine packed up in maybe 5 mins and set back up in 10. If you want the power of a PC and want to be mobile, get the case I got. http://www.amazon.com/BitFenix-Mini-ITX-Without-Midnight-BFC-PRO-300-KKXSK-RP/dp/B008RJQ0LE/ref=sr_1_15?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1416180516&sr=1-15&keywords=mini+itx+case

Them handles are glorious.

Also if you've done any research so far, you'll know that laptops are WAY more expensive that a desktop (if you're building it yourself.)

I'd say if you have the money, but a laptop with a 860M or higher. I have a 850M and it works fine for now, but not long. Only get a laptop if you're willing to go big. If you plan on staying in the same spot for most of the time, get a PC with the Mini ITX case.

u/fatalmovementv1 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

If you haven't already considered a bitfenix prodigy i would look into one. It looks nice, is portable and is relatively small http://www.amazon.com/BitFenix-Mini-ITX-Without-Midnight-BFC-PRO-300-KKXSK-RP/dp/B008RJQ0LE

u/BuildmeisterBob · 1 pointr/buildapc

In terms of cases that are wider than they are tall, look good in a home theatre, but can also equip components fit for gaming the pickings are a bit slim. A lot of HTPC cases are designed for pretty low intensity components because they usually are built just for streaming. If you want to game on it, you probably have to make some compromises, but I am not entirely in the loop with all HTPC cases. Options I can think of are:

  1. Silverstone Sugo SG08 $200 inc 600W PSU.
    The Sugo SG08 comes pretty close to fitting the bill. It is the larger brother of the SG05 and just a tiny tad smaller than the Node 304. It has a very clean, minimalistic look. It has a disc drive slot and ships with a custom small form factor PSU of 600W. It will take an ITX board and otherwise most standard components. Lots of high end gaming builds around, just google your parts to see that everything fits. Quite expensive.

  2. The Node 304 + An external Blue Ray player $90 for case, PSU not included . This means you have the looks, form factor and power that you want, plus the media capability. Other than requiring a mini ITX motherboard it can pretty much fit "standard" components. An external USB Blue Ray drive can be had for as low as $30. Plug it in whenever you need to, or just leave it resting on top.

  3. Silverstone Sugo SG05 $125 inc 450W PSU - This mini ITX case comes in white or black and looks similar to the Node 304, is a good bit smaller and has a slot for a disc drive. Small cases means that things become a little more fiddley. Things like cable management and good quality fans are more important to improve air flow to silence any noise in the living room. The case ships with a small form factor PSU with either 300W or 450W. You would want the 450W one for gaming. Alternatively you can buy a "naked" case and buy your own small form factor PSU. The smaller the case, the more research you have to do to make sure all the parts fit (i.e. water coolers etc), but SG05 builds are quite common, so just google away.


  4. Bitfenix Prodigy $90 - I feel like a mini ITX discussion these days isn't complete without mentioning the Prodigy. Out of all the cases, the Prodigy is the easiest to work with because it is quite a bit larger than the other cases we have listed so far. That means it can be treated more like a regular PC. It will fit a mini ITX board and all regular components ... and then some. That means airflow is excellent and noise a minimum. The finish of the case is just a bit cheaper than the others here, and it has less of an HTPC look, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Many people swear by it. I have read that you can easily remove the 2 handles, to give it a smaller profile and a more "square" look.

The Bitfenix Prodigy is an old but reliable case that's very small. If you want something newer and more slick, I'd get the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX. It's an easy case build in for an ITX and it looks great. This is the smallest case I've ever seen. It doesn't accommodate a GPU though.

u/im_eh_Canadian · 0 pointsr/buildapc

ok so i will start off with the case as that is most important. i will igve you a few options

  1. CM HAF xb

  2. LIAN LI PC-TU200B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

  3. node 304 black

  4. bitfenix prodigy

    OK so whats in here.

    3570k: what why? well it runs cooler will OC higher(with the h60) and is more than enough for gaming

    H60: because a big bulky cpu cooler looks dumb and i dont know how well it would fair in a system always getting moved around. i never trusted strapping one of those things onto a MOBO. h60 block is low profile and secure.

    MOBO: its a z77 have a nice day

    Memory: 16GB because people think ,more memory is more better, so when you tell people about your computer they will be impressed. 8GB is good enough though

    storage: you didn't say a use case. but if your going on the rigs you may want to load up some movies or tvshows 1tb is lots but again its easy to add more. also boot SSD because its cool

    GPU: 780. reference blower design is good for small form factor cases and the 780 is the best card for gaming right now

    case: is up to you but i think the prodogy looks nice

    PSU: 80plus gold= good, seasonic = good, modular = good

    OS: again up to you. i dont like 8.

    budget in another $150 for the monitor, $100 for key bored and mouse.

    provide feedback or more information for your use case and i will make a better build
