Hello everyone (first post here)
I've been thinking about building a mATX form factor pc alongside my main pc so I can have something small to lug around to various areas and still be able to get excellent performance. I've been looking at cases and so far the BitFenix Prodigy M has caught my attention the most. The only problem is, I'm not sure what would fit properly in terms of components. I want to do water cooling but I would like to have a slim radiator to help with keeping everything compact but spacious.
Basically my main question is, what kind of cooling solutions would be best in the Prodigy M? I was looking at the H110 but fitment is currently idk.
My first case was a bitfenix prodigy M and Airflow is Absolutely terrible in that case. you have to jump too many hoops to get your components to fit properly and Airflow to properly cool your components. also i sort of doubt the H110 will fit since all the Fan holes are meant for 120mm fans if i remember correctly.
Basically to keep it short and sweet Find another case the headaches that come with working with that case IS NOT worth it.
Any recommendations? I'm looking for something that can be portable but also fit 2 gfx cards with proper cooling options
This is the case that i have
i recommend but its pricey as fuck.
it's very compact however you aren't going to be fitting an H110 in there. probably an H80i for CPU water-cooling.

You have heaps of watercooling options. Just google 'watercooled prodigy m'. There are heaps of great little wc rigs around. Wouldnt waste time and money on an AIO cooler, make a nice loop yourself.
XIGMATEK Aquila. Its a micro atx case, around the same price as the bitfenix prodigy M, has carrying handles, and I'm also pretty sure it supports water cooling, but you may have to search that up yourself. Link for website:

Wendel also did a video on the case a couple month ago. Link:

Hope I helped! :)
I saw the Aquila a few days ago and I fell in love. The horizontal motherboard mounting opens up so much room.
That is a mighty tasty mini case
