I'm in the process of collecting parts for my build and still need a case. I'm undecided between the Bitfenix Prodigy or Phenom.. I like the look and size of the Phenom the most, but I'm worried about the airflow compared to the black Prodigy, which has a full mesh front and side panel vent. I plan to install a 230mm fan regardless of which case I get, and if I go the Phenom route I would install a 120mm in the front of the top panel. Would the Phenom get similar airflow to the Prodigy with this configuration or is the Prodigy still a much better option? Feedback from somebody with experience with either the Phenom or prodigy would be preferred. Thanks in advance!
